A bit much, but I'm still glad he's signed. Still waiting for a Subban deal.

Re: 2012 Off-Season Thread
A bit much? Far from it. Patches at 4.5/year over (doesn't even start til 2013-2014) 6 years? That's a ridiculous bargain! He's just going to continue to get better, and become a consistent 30 goal scorer. AWESOME deal for the Habs on the Patches front.
Now for PK...

Re: 2012 Off-Season Thread
Its a bargain if he can get more then 70 points a season;
Its a pretty reasonable deal if he keeps being a 33/32 guy.
He is young, he can score, but was last season the new normal for Patch of was it just a great individual season in the midst of a terrible team season?
There is a lot to like about him.
He is 23, he has a + rating on a terrible team over 79 games, and he doesn't shy away from using his frame (100+ hits) but again its one season.
I guess if you think he is destine to be a legit forward in this league for years to come then its not bad, but I can only wonder what Subban will get now.

Re: 2012 Off-Season Thread
Ya that's what I'm wondering too Morris. I'm not entirely convinced that last season wasn't but a blip on the radar screen. But with his age I'm certainly optimistic that there are more good seasons to come... Even still, I probably would have felt a little better about this signing if it was three years instead of 6.
But ya, gots to get PK done. At least he wants to be in Montreal. Love to see that 6 year deal attached next to his name.

Habs uniform ranked best in sports and the NHL. Can't disagree, they're kind of perfect. Bruins, Rangers, Red Wings, Flyers and Leafs are all in the top 25 overall in that order.

I like it;
But at the same time I think it will have some negative effects in the locker room.
The guy wasn't a diva, he just forgot how to play hockey.
A lot of the kids interviewed went out of their way to talk about how "Gomer" took the time to work with them.
