P.K. Subban agrees to eight year contract

It was very close to the time of the arbitrator ruling in the P.K. Subban vs the Montreal Canadiens arbitration case but the Canadiens finally came to their senses and sign P.K. Subban to a 8-year deal worth 72 million. So that takes the Norris trophy winner to the age of 32 and by that time he will be a smarter defenseman with a few more seasons still after this contract. If the Canadiens decided to go with the arbitrator ruling it would not end well for them as P.K. was extremely upset with having to sit through the arbitration that he would either take another one year deal to get to free agency or ask for a trade. The deal is a good deal as P.K. gets his money while the 5.2 billion will raise the salary cap by leaps and bounds by the end of the deal to mid to high 80's. So this will mean that the 8 million cap hit will make it possible to build around P.K. and goalie Carey (Price) to build the Canadiens into Stanley cup contender and help bring Lord Stanley back home. So everything is right with the world Tom Mehegan
