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

[Waivers]

Coming in peace, Shea Weber is the absolute ****ing man. He should be a player anyone of us players, who played defense especially, would want to look up to. He throws the boom, he snipes, he's a cornerstone defenseman, and one who will protect the house.

Subban, while one of the best defenseman I've ever seen come into the game in recent years, is very offensive-minded, and has been getting burned on more and more selfish plays as the years have progressed.

There is something about PK where he is indirectly shouting, "It's all about me!" - but he seems like a very kind individual.

Perhaps I'm being temperamental but where does this trade rank all-time among blockbusters?

 

[LeafingTheWay]

Price will be 29 to start the season and Weber will be 31. There's no reason for the Habs to not go all-out this offseason.

They just got worse considerably though..

 

[Shabutie]

I'd still vote Webber.

But if the poll was: Which team would you build your team around currently? Subban 10/10 times.

in 3-4 years, Montreals going to have a 7.5 million black hole.

Except Subban's personality takes the whole dressing room and is incredibly selfish on the ice. That doesn't always fly/gel with other players. I feel like Subban would work really well on a younger/more immature team like the Oilers but doesn't work with every team.

Dynamic guy to watch but I'm very happy we got Weber today.

 

[CanuckGame39]

Personally I like Weber more than Subban, but I love Subban as well.

I know Subban will be my #1 dman choice in next year's hockey pool since he's going to be playing with Josi now.

 

[Jigger77]

He's still a beast but he doesn't do spin-o-ramas. And you cannot teach a 30 year old guy spin-o-ramas.

Definitely won't be missing those!

 

[Gil Gunderson]

people need to understand subban > weber right now
And in the playoffs Subban >>> weber

Never denied that, but this trade brings it closer to a "now or never" situation. At the very least, for Habs fans' sake, that cap room saved should be used to acquire actual offensive talent.

 

[Kranix]

Biggest moment in Predators history. They just got the new face of their franchise.

The other thread's too crazy so I couldn't really get an answer, but I'm seriously wondering why Weber wasn't traded for Hall. With all the defencemen moving around today, Nashville and Weber never seemed like they were playing with the market at all.

 

[ForSpareParts*]

Also some people on HF threatened to leave if Subban was graded.

I wonder if Habs fans still would've wanted such a huge overpay from the Oilers for Subban after this deal. Their asking price on this site was literally insane. Wonder if they feel a bit softer on their demands, if things could've been different. Maybe just Eberle, Draistaitl and Klefbom enough to get it done, now? Anyway, doesn't matter, and too late.

Well i think as a Hab fan i feel bad on this trade but than again i sit back and realize i could be an Oiler fan watching my management give up Hall straight up for Larsson.
At least the Habs got back a proven commodity. A top 10 D-man for a top 10 Dman.
The Oilers traded Top 5 winger for a D-man with the ceiling of becoming a #2.

 

[CapsWolverinesUSA]

This is the most quintessentially Candian-Franchise-trade ever.

poor them lol

Could be a bit of marketing as well due to Nashvilles large black community

 

[LeafingTheWay]

They're about even right now. One bad Game 7 vs San Jose doesn't change Weber's performance during the season as a whole.

Long term, well, I'd agree Subban will be much better than Weber as he declines due to age.

Subban was considerably better all season long and the past 2 years though.

Because Edmonton doesn't have a defenseman to replace Weber.

 

[didimentionlarseller]

Im in shock right now **** you Bergevin

 

[A Pointed Stick]

This is a better trade than the Hall trade. I can see both teams calling this a win next year.

 

[McShogun99]

What a deal for Nashville. Weber is on the decline. Great trade.

 

[Habitantpeasoup]

They just got worse considerably though..

Worse LOL Short term there much better. PK was a clown in his own end last year and couldn't do ditallt squat on the PP. Gotta love HF boards. PK is average defensively and gives the puck up way too much in the defensive zone. That being said he was never used properly in Montreal he is an offensive defensive hopefully Nashville uses him that way.

 

[gordie]

A wash. Trading one franchise defenseman for another hardly improves either team that much. Nashville gets a slight advantage because Subban is younger. This is just two GM's just making a big trade just to make a big trade.

 

[Aru]

**** you Bergevin.

It didn't work in Hotlanta.

 

[Kranix]

How is there still 10 years left on Weber's contract??

 

[Cynick]

poor them lol

Really? Having one of the most charismatic people in the league who is a superstar no less is a "poor" situation for Nashville...

(I may have missed sarcasm and, if I didn't, I'm giving you an open.)
