While we wait for P.K Subban to finally sign a new contract (or be moved), Marc Bergevin has been proactive with another one of his key players, signing Max Pacioretty to a six-year, $27 million deal.
The average cap hit will be $4.5 per season.
A more than acceptable number if Pacioretty continues to be a 30 goal, 60 point player.
If he exceeds those numbers, than his cap hit could easily be viewed as a discount. At least, in NHL terms.
What are your thoughts on the new deal?

Nice to see Max locked up, fair deal for both sides.
So Subban must now see $4.5/year as a bottom salary and say a Tyler Myers deal of $5.5 for 7 years as comparable to what he should ask for?
