Don’t say eye test when you mean points
Literally the worst trade in NHL history for Montreal. Personally would not take Weber even for no assets.

There are plenty of DEFENSEMEN better the PK. The word defense being in there alone proves that. He's a top 5 scoring D yes but actual defense no.
Sucks to lose PK. No doubt. Great person, philanthropist, groundbreaker in many ways, electrifying player who's contribution to the community is unparalleled, a unique character you don't see very often......But holy **** Habs fans, we just acquired Shea Weber! Iconic leader, first choice for any Team Canada roster, a physical beast with the best shot in the league, and genuinely feared by other teams. The guy singlehandedly outscored (or close) the entire Montreal defense last year. Habs are a better team NOW than they were two days ago in my opinion. That contract isn't so great though. We'll see what happens in 4-5 years. One thing is for sure. Our PP just got a helluva lot better!!
Happy with the trade personally, just wish we could have both
People complain about lack of good hockey trades nowadays. Well here's one for both teams imo!

This was clearly personal with the Habs and PK. MB waited to long or asked for too much from Oilers and then panicked and took Weber before PK's no trade kicked in. Sadly MB could have gotten a much better package from Oilers probably Hall and the 4th or Hall and Draisaitl. Oh well Weber is still a stud so even though I wouldn't have traded PK for Weber it's not the end of the Habs now either.

I live in Europe and woke up to this. Someone please tell me this is a joke, right? WTF are the Habs doing?
You have no one to blame but yourself for getting a good night's sleep.
Seriously, we've been saying WTF for hours now.

Yeah probably bad value for PK, but I don't think Webers contract is all that bad for Montreal, as long as he plays 3 or 4 years for them, they can buy him out or trade him to a budget team with no risk or recapture penalties. I think Nashville will have the problems in a few years.

How does making a marginal move on D, and getting an overrated grinder make the Canadiens better? They're still lacking depth offensively, and need more quality defensemen.

They were in a win now mode even with Subban, who's arguably been the better defenseman in the playoffs compared to Weber.
This trade also shortens Montreal's window
Weber has gone way under the radar because he is Nashville or a lot of people only follow one or 2 teams. I'd have him on my team over Subban every day and twice on sundays. Yes the contract is something else but there always seems to be a way around that. And 30 is not old guys, esp for a dman. Come on.
Everything Subban does is a distraction to the team. Wether his intentions are good are not, the guy is just an attention monger. From the clothes to his on ice flailing, even the 10$ mil donation was a big attention grab. He could have just as well donated privately and not made a big deal about it but it was just as much about him as the Charity. Who knows what actually goes on in the locker room but I wouldn't be surprised if his presence alone rubbed guys the wrong way. Drama Queen. Might work in Southern US where Bettman wants all the attention he can get for the NHL.

You're assuming Bergevin won't be doling out money between now and Price's renewal, to adding more bottom players, which he has shown a continuing propensity for. So any cap savings in the hands of Bergevin are likely wasted.

If the Habs were close to winning the Cup, I would better accept this trade but they are not close. And in 3-4 years from now when they might (big maybe) actually be close, Subban will have surpassed Weber.
So it could be a decent trade in the immediate (but totally pointless because Weber doesn't make them Cup contenders), but a bad trade for the future.

Been a Habs fan for 50 years. That's it. I'm livid. Too enraged to comment except to agree that Bergevin is at par with Houle and Milbury in the moron HOF.
I took an hour nap and then reset the alarm for another hour before waking up to all of this.
