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

[garyturner3]

Good one Bergevin! April fools jokes are so much better two months late in my opinion!

 

[BeaverSports]

Weber is better defensively, I like his point shot, and he's a great team player. Subban is definitely talented, but I think Montreal gets the better deal here.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Bergevin is a terrible GM.

 

[joshyhockey26]

How is the board not dead. This is legendary.

My thoughts exactly

 

[kp61c]

and i thought trading hall was disgusting, disgustingly dumb trade

Don't see how everyone thinks Nashville wins this. Other then age being a factor Weber is a much better defender then Subban.

Because Subban is just as much a capable #1 D on a Cup winning team as Weber while stilling having the benefit of age as he's just entering his prime as a Dman. He can play the D while having the vision to jump into the play to help create/sustain Nashville's possession in the offensive zone.

I'm not an expert on Montreal's roster but this seems like their management made a big trade for the sake of making a big trade to prove that they're not sitting on their ass doing nothing. Usually when fans want to see activity by their management, they mean activity that makes sense for the team, not simply for the sake of reminding people that you do in fact have a job, lol.

What is this I don't even!!!??!?!

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

Yeah it can't be that their terrible Gm made yet another bad decision

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.

Not the same player anymore, even then he was never outright the best in any season he has played, but definitely was a perennial top-5 guy.

That said, PK is younger and brings more than a booming shot. He is the closest thing to Erik Karlsson.

 

[Brewsky]

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.

LOL watch him be exposed now...just watch.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Good riddance.

 

[cheswick]

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

Why not high draft picks or a top forward?

He's not more expensive.... Weber's cap hit is $7.85mm, Subban is $9mm.

 

[BonMorrison]

Subban is gonna be a god damn star (moreso) here.

 

[loadie]

So who's the next hot draft pick the Habs are tanking for?

 

[Treb]

This is a stupid trade that is at best lateral, wtf...

 

[MtlPenFan]

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

1000% a personality issue. Bat **** crazy what's happening.

 

[Little Psycho]

I don't get it. What was wrong with Subban? Was there issues off the ice?

 

[Naych_PHX]

I'm sure it's been said..

What. In. The. **** ?

I thought this was a proposal..

 

[preds1]

Don't see how everyone thinks Nashville wins this. Other then age being a factor Weber is a much better defender then Subban.

I agree. And we paid all the front loaded costs.
Weber's not in decline and MTL will love him after all this wears off.

 

[serp]

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

And the term left on his contract .

 

[RatedR]

This day has been ridiculous

 

[Riddum]

The management never liked him. What a joke. Bergevin is a joke. Therrien sucks. Weber is clearly past his peak.

 

[Spokestick]

Which trade is worse for the Canadian teams trading today? Despite the fact that Chia traded a sure fire top LW in Hall for the promise of an improving Larsson, I can't see how the Habs got better by trading for Weber?

PK-Josi :wow:

I mean... You don't have to love the PK trade, and I sure don't. But to suggest that it's as bad or even worse than Hall for Larsson? C'mon now...

 

[TrillMike]

That's insane. Weber's contract is massive.

 

[1989]

One of the weirdest trades I've seen in a while involving big names. Not like the Hall/Larsson trade at all - this one is plain strange and until further details come out from media extracting tidbits, this remains a strange trade.
