Confirmed Trade: [MTL/NSH] PK Subban for Shea Weber - Pt. 2

In my opinion, I think Weber is the slightly better player - Obviously that opinion will be disputed, but MTL likely felt the same way. They gave up the younger player for the better but slightly older player, a "win now" move I suppose? I really didn't see that one coming to be honest.
Because Subban is a significantly better hockey player than Weber? Lol
I love this trade and I'm sure Nashville will too.
Isn't this typical of Canadian media? The guy is the best in the world when he plays there but the minute he gets traded they start bashing him. It happens with most of the big name trades in Canada.
Yeah, this trade is ridiculous. Saw the text while I was at work and almost fell out of my chair.

How does a GM not insist that a top 6 forward is thrown into the deal? A pick? Hell, a borderline prospect?
How many times did habs fans turn down some form of Hall + 1st + Yakupov in proposals. That's looking pretty good now. Ha ha ha. Terrible deal for MTL.

Weber is older however he matched PK in points last year while out scoring him 20G to PKS . PK led the league 2 years in a row for giveaways. Weber is by far the more complete player. PK is an offensive dman. MTL wins trade for now but Preds win in the long run. Cup or bust for Carey and Co. Dont think players will be taking liberities with Carey and the rest now. This comes from a Leaf fan.

Snipers are a dying bread in the NHL
31 is not "mid thirties" I know you guys like Subban but please Weber isn't a washed up #4 defenseman. Jesus.

No no no no no, it was someone from outside Montreal!!! They called him, "Gord" or something like that when the ended the call. The guy listed 14 defensemen he thought were better (didn't list Keith, but did list Hjalmarsson lol).
as a habsfan i think bergevin is vanilla and brainless. From a rational perspective, i think trade is a wash for now. Maybe Weber better defensively. I think Bargainbin sees sergachev as his replacement in the long-term when this deal stings Montreal. Weber not that much older. will play entire season next year at 31...he should be good for next 4 years..that said...after that
pray sergachev becomes something special

I know Subban is/was a fan favorite, but how about you guys open your minds about an idea that something might not have been AS COOL with Subban in the dressing room ?
Just maybe.
Just maybe.
Subban destroys Weber defensively, especially recently. He is actually good at suppressing shots and scoring chances...
Now we'll just see if Subban can carry Josi better than Weber could.
What makes him an idiot? He's one of the best play-by-play guys in hockey.
I think someone needs to sit down and congratulate Poile. Although he's given up good players (Jones and Weber), he's managed to bring in Johansen and Subban. That team is setup with a ridiculous core for a long time.
How much did Josi play with Weber? Habs don't have anyone to help him, how will he do with zero help in terms of puck carrying?

Classic, but the truth. Habs make horrible trade. Guess Habs weren't shopping PK right?
Brutal. Just furthers proves that bad blood had everything to do with this.
Just proof these new age Norris candidate defensemen are overrated; Subban, Karlsson, and Letang. All 3 of those I would package for a shutdown D and top 3 forward. Habs could and should have got more just because of the age difference so I guess they lost.
