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

[Dahlman1221]

Bergevin...

 

[Sens Rule]

I think of the Chris Chelios for old Denis Savard trade. Why Montreal? Why?

 

[Beerfish]

People saying "ITS SO BAD OMG" are insane. Yes Pk is a stud but so is Weber. The man is year in year out one of the best dmen in the national hockey league.

Agreed, I like Subban a lot but I also think Webber is still a soild #1 guy.

I'm just slightly enraged as an oiler fan that when two #1 guys get dealt they couldn't put together a package to get either one of them.

 

[Umingmak]

I would take Weber over Subban ten times out of ten. The only downside for Montreal is Weber's age.

 

[Autism]

I don't understand this trade at all...

[Smeagoal]

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

Or maybe Weber lays them out? This guy is still a top 10 D man, albeit this trade is bad. Smh, so hard to imagine PK in yellow.

 

[Juicy Pop]

What?

...

What?

I really don't hate this deal for Montreal as much as the majority of y'all in this thread.

To me, this shows Bergevin absolutely wanted to move PK before his NMC kicked in, and those rumors of him not gelling in the locker room were accurate. Weber may be significantly over but he's still a #1 and it's not like they traded for Brian Campbell now. You don't win every trade but you have to do what's best for your franchise.

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

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

********. PK owns and I'm so happy to see him out of Montreal.

I know it seems like Montreal lost out, but Shea Weber is a pretty damn good defender himself. I just hope the Montreal fans don't **** on him as if it was his fault PK got traded. They need to embrace what they have, because Weber is still a top 10 defender in this league.

Side note, never thought I'd see the day where two top 10 defenders get swapped 1 for 1.

 

[ShatteredGlass]

Hosting in legendary head

 

[hawksrule]

What in the world is Montreal doing? This is horrific.

 

[member 202355]

Still in shock.

 

[The Thin White Duke]

I don't understand why NJ and Nashville were needed. Hall for Subban is the deal that kinda makes sense here.

 

[Pavelski2112]

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.

This is how I feel. Now Weber can get his Norris that he should've won a few years ago.

 

[UnderratedBrooks44]

No he has. Part of the problem was he was never as good as he was build up to be.

Yes he has that's ridiculous. He's a great all around Dman who's quickly getting some wear on him. Not saying I'd make the deal but to say he was always overrated is flat out incorrect.

 

[KlefDown]

Not sure what trade is worse..

 

[Dahlman1221]

Will never forget this day. Never

 

[Flukeshot]

Have to guess it is just as personally motivated as it is thinking it's improving the Canadiens.

 

[Habs8517]

Marc Bergevin just proved that he is the worst GM in the league and the worst GM in the history of the Montreal Canadiens.

If im Shea Weber i ask for a trade to get out of Hell. The fans will never forget and will boo him every single time he steps on the ice. He might even get killed for the trade.

 

[Positive Vibes]

and my worst nightmare just came true.

 

[rodney dangerfield]

Devils get a top line 70 pt 24 yr old winger for a worse defensemen. Wow get REKT Montreal.

 

[Look Up]

Yeehaww. He can wear his cowboy hat all the time now.

 

[Elimanator]

Maybe Weber might win a Norris since he's in Montreal.
