How Jimmy Howard Will Bounce Back After A Rough 2013-14 Season – Octopus Thrower

P.K. Subban, Canadiens beat arbitration ruling, sign eight-year, $72 million deal | Puck Daddy
The deal was a bit higher than I expected it to be, especially when you consider that Subban’s asking price was lower than what he received. It is a lot of money to tie into one player, but at the same point, it is not too much for a player of his quality.
