Rewind to 2012:  Subban's contract expires, he's an RFA.  Smart clubs were signing their stud RFAs to 5-year deals, @ 'bout $5 million per, overpaying in the first 2 yrs of the contract in order to buy 3 years of free agency.

Subban woulda taken that, but, Bergevin has other ideas.  Makes Subban sign a 2-yr deal and tells him to prove his worth.  Big mistake.

Subban goes out and wins the Norris and makes Team Canada.  He proved his worth big time, eh?

Next contract, Subban gets his revenge.  With much more leverage, he shoves it down Bergevin's throat, won't sign for anything less than max term, max $.  

Vos Canadiens, at that point, humiliated, written in stone he's gotta go, and he probably knows it, too.  So, he donates millions to a Mtl hospital, a PR smash, more up yours.

This kid's no dummy, he looks out for #1.  And he can play, 1 of the few players you'd actually pay $ to watch play.

Don't be surprised if he winds up playing for Your Leafs at some point here.....
