Confirmed Trade: [MTL/NSH] PK Subban for Shea Weber

[Mike Martin]

Weber is a rapidly declining played on a terrible contract. This is one of the worst trades in years.

Subban had 6 goals last year, Weber had 20. Rapid decline?

Has there ever been a trade so unanimously hated for one side? I have not seen a single person on any website try to defend this for Montreal.

 

[Pandaman11]

How do people think Montreal wins this in any possible?

Nobody does

 

[Ziggdiezan]

I'm liking this as a Leafs fan, Weber will be alot worse in 3-4 years.

 

[ozhenson]

The only reason I dont like the trade for the Habs is because of their ages. For the next two years I have a feeling Weber will serve them better than Subban would.

PK Subban

This will be historically remembered as one of the worst trades in Habs history.

I have defended Bergevin like crazy these last few years. But that's it. I'm done.

He should be fired, RIGHT NOW.

 

[Slew Foots]

Bergevin was making Houle look half decent over the past year...but he really outdid himself on this one...didn't think it was possible...congrats to Bergevin on officially being the worst GM in Habs history!!!

 

[Brewsky]

Isn't Weber kind of slow these days?

Can't wait for Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner just skate around his slow ass.

I remember when Habs fans wanted a lot more than just Tanev for Subban. I now wish Benning would have moved Tanev straight up for Subban. I'm sure Habs fan would have been happier with that return than today's

I don't understand why MTL took an older and more expensive D?

Why not high draft picks or a top forward?

 

[JVR21]

What happened between Subban and the Montreal brass? This makes no sense. Poile with some magic here.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

OMG I JUST REALIZED THAT WE NOW HAVE TO DEAL WITH PK IN THE CENTRAL!

Jesus Montreal. Ya blew it!

 

[KarmaPolice]

So I guess Chia was in play for one of these guys, but the price I guess was too high. Either of them would've cost Hall + Klefbom + something else. So instead he went for the better value in Larsson, and then these two teams had this deal in their back pocket in case Chia went for another Dman. That's why both happened so close to each other. Has to be. Very glad we didn't go for one of these guys and give up Klefbom, as eventually it would've been a rather lateral deal. We need Klefbom PLUS another good Dman, not either/or.

What the **** is the point of this?

 

[Daemar]

Thanks Bergevin for making the Chiarelli trade look good! MTL fans, welcome to the hurt.... we've already been there for a while.

 

[CerebralGenesis]

NSH has to love this

this got pretty crazy for trades suddenly lol

 

[Sureves]

Why would Montreal do this?

It's the same answer it's always been despite Habs fans refusing to hear it: Subban is a problem in the dressing room.

 

[Matt24]

I don't even understand what the Habs are trying to do in the grand scheme of things.

 

[Soundgarden]

I feel bad for Weber. He's gonna get **** on.

He'll hit 20+ goals and 50+ points again while playing above average defensively. I guess the odds of him winning the Norris just doubled now that he's in Canada.

 

[KPower]

And just like that, I'm a fan of PK Subban.

 

[Ovechkins vodka]

I actually like this for Montreal, Subban is really overrated by fans, its obvious most NHL coaches and GMs don't trust him defensively and get tired of his act.

 

[IceAce]

Is there some like "Purge" kind of event going on in Canada today? WTF?

 

[Wild Caniac]

How is the board not dead. This is legendary.

 

[Classic Devil]

What is the logic here for Montreal, I don't get it.
