Subban camp set to talk to Habs
TheFourthPeriod.com

Canadiens restricted free agent defenseman P.K. Subban isn't any closer to signing a new deal with Montreal, but the two sides are expected to speak before the end of the weekend.

Habs GM Marc Bergevin will be speaking with the agents for Subban in the coming days, TFP has learned.

Mark Guy, who along with Don Meehan represents Subban, confirmed the two sides will be meeting, though hinted that a deal is still not imminent.

The Canadiens have not moved off of their two-year proposal, believed to be worth around $3.5 million per season. Subban, meanwhile, is looking for a five-year agreement worth north of $5 million per year.

During yesterday's TSN broadcast of the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie suggested the standoff between the Habs and Subban could result in a trade, though Bergevin has indicated that he has no intention of moving the 23-year-old blueliner.

Subban earned $875,000 last season as he posted seven goals and 29 assists in 81 games for Montreal, while leading the team in average total ice-time.

Guy indicated that they'll know of the direction of negotiations next week, after he and Meehan speaks with Bergevin.
