ngl i'm still salty about getting fleeced for him and he didnt even put up decent numbers for us... honestly think we couldve gotten more value out of someone else for 11 draft picks

ngl yeah we overpaid and still got burned but ppl forget how much pressure there was to make that deal happen man, lou said theyd lose the team if they didnt bring in a superstar like subban

I remember that era and the pressure Lou had is real, but I still think we should've gotten better value for a 10-year commitment. The P.K. Subban contract was always going to be a challenge in its own right, regardless of what others were saying at the time.

yeah that contract is still insane man, lou's legacy is basically tied up in how this works out and it's been a disaster lol
