He could have made much more on Friday. Either he's scared about his injury or he must have truly wanted to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean really 8 + million dollars a year for 8 years, he is set for life, already. Before signing this deal, to me this seems like message sending to his mates, i'm all in, you can get yours too... lets win. Any more money than that is ego stroking, Good for him. Good for the Bolts. I will enjoy watching our guys beat them to claim supremacy of the east after they wrestle it from the Pens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make 8.5 in Florida is like making 12 in new york Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't believe the Habs took him. Weber's to be worth most of that deal for a while but Subban was a real fixture in that city. Extremely well loved. I'm kinda shocked from that regard.

Yes, (I didnt look up the exact rate) but it's still creeping up on a million more plus the city taxes adds to that. My guess is he was looking 8.5 from Tampa and at least 9.5 anywhere else. And that is not the "hometown discount". It's the, "I'll be making around 7 million + more over the term of the contract" discount. Point is, he will make a lot more if he sighed in Tampa, Dallas, and next year, Las Vagas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertmega Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Correct me if I am wrong, but since the Weber deal was front loaded, doesn't Nashville have to pay a good chunk of change on his contract? I thought I read that somewhere, but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I read that somewhere, but I could be wrong. Nashville has paid him $56 million of $110 million total for just four years. The numbers decrease from $12 million this year and next (real cash) to $1 million each of the last three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are not on the hook for anymore money to him? If that is the case, I guess it sucks that they invested too much up front, but getting Subban may be all worth it.

I never wanted him as I do not like the guy. I do not feel one way or the other really. Was not excited about the prospect of a money war that he would have created on our team. We have the guys we need for the future. Sure we can use more but on D more and a goalie. Sure you can say that in hindsight, but if they did manage to sign him, we'd all be subjected to your lame-ass "plan the parade" posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
