I don't understand why Montreal would do this. Was there rumors of off ice issues or something like Richards/Carter? Doesn't make sense.

This, ever since Stamkos broke his leg he has not been the same.

Edit; State tax already discussed

Subban didn't seem to get along with the coach/GM. His NMC kicked in on July 1st, so moving him later would have been difficult. Definitely a stunner though.

I don't understand it from the financial side for sure.
Nashville has been said to be struggling to make money and was on a budget.
Yet they trade a player they had already paid 51% of his salary in just 4 years. And after the next two he drops to 6M in actual salary.
For a player that is going to make more money over the time of the contract and be a higher cap hit.

trying to wrap my head around the Weber/Subban trade as well as the Larsson/Hall trade. weird ****ing day for hockey

Not sure why people don't understand Larsson/Hall. The Oilers have needed D for like forever. I'm not even sure this is an overpayment. Hall has been potting 25 goals per year on a team that didn't have to play defense.

Yup,

I think the Oilers overpaid but at least it made sense. They filled a need.

The PK for Weber deal makes no sense to me from Montreal's POV

Hall is a top 10 LW and Larsson is a young unproven defenseman. pretty easy to not understand, especially when its rumored the Islanders were offering Edmonton way more
 
8.5 million a year for Stamkos is a great deal for Tampa Bay. He can get more if he becomes a free agent.
 
With the Devils being a horrible watch the last couple of seasons, I feel that Larsson is being undervalued while Hall is being overrated because he's Taylor Hall from a Canadian market.
 
NHL forwards, 2012-16, min 1,000 minutes, ranked by 5v5 PTS/60:
1. Sidney Crosby: 2.71
2. Jamie Benn: 2.54
3. Taylor Hall: 2.49



'over-rated', eh?
