Boston Bruins ink Malcolm Subban to three-year, entry-level deal -NHL Update
Being the brother of superstar Montreal Canadiens’ defenceman, P.K. Subban, definitely has its own advantages, but Malcolm Subban is in no way to be underestimated as the younger one of the two brothers was signed on by Boston Bruins officially to a three-year,
entry-level contract on Thursday, September 6, 2012.
At the moment, there were official details disclosed about how much the contract is worth or may be potentially worth, but sources are saying that it may be up to $900,000 a year or even more according to some insiders.
While the older Subban may be a defender, Malcolm will have his own unique role with the Boston Bruins for sure as they intend on using him to fill up some gaps in the net. As they no longer have Tim Thomas guarding the net the upcoming season, Malcolm just
might be getting the chance to shine under the spotlight with former backup to Tim Thomas, Tuukka Rask.
Subban was picked up by Boston Bruins as the 24th overall back in the 2012 National Hockey League (NHL) Entry Draft and was the top pick of the team. Boston is known to pick up tough players and standing at 6-feet-1, 195 pounds, Malcolm does fit
quite well into that category.
For the past three seasons, Subban had been performing in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), with the minor league team, Belleville Bulls. He had 25 wins last season in 39 games played with 14 losses, not a bad record at all seeing how the opposition at times
was overpowering the team on the offensive end.
According to some sources, the younger Subban will not be playing next season for the Boston Bruins due to being in contract with his team in the OHL. He may attend training camp to show the Bruins some of his skills, but regardless of that, he is not eligible
just yet to play in the major league with Boston. He cannot also participate with their minor league affiliates, the Providence Bruins.
Whenever the young Subban does get a chance to perform for the Bruins, it will be interesting to see how he performs and whether he is able to shine from day one or not.
