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

[Doublechin]

I don't know how I feel. I wasn't opposed to Subban being traded but a 5 year older player wasn't what I had in mind.

 

[JustAHabFan]

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.

He is in decline. Just can not justify Sweber for Subban. Please fire that clown MB.

 

[Lapa]

Is this real life?

 

[KingWantsCup]

I'm reeling. What is going on. This is insanely idiotic for Montreal... Oh my God.

 

[hamzarocks]

not a habs fan but the fact that Michel ****ing therrien is still a part of the habs organization while subban gets shipped out shows you the state that teams in. Therrien is probably giddy right now. Weber is a top 15 dmen but he's not as good as weber and is 4? years older. Bad deal made by a horrendous gm.

 

[Avelanche]

Nashville is Stacked.

 

[The Saw Is the Law]

Why does Montreal do this?! WHY!?!?

 

[Face Of Bear]

Weber will be 31 by the time the season starts. Signed for 10 more years

 

[mindfly]

Monreal really expects weber to play until he's 40 and be effective after 35? LOL

 

[MtlPenFan]

I'm no Habs fan, but Jesus guys you have my sympathies.

 

[gump116]

Seriously before today, I thought Weber had negative value and Montreal could've gotten Hall + another top forward from Edmonton for Subban.

 

[BrockBoeser6]

Click out of the Hall trade thread to this... It's like Christmas in June! hahaha

 

[Pulyx]

Weird.
Just weird.

 

[Ludo]

I know I'm in the minority here...but I don't mind this deal at all.

I've watched Subban play since he arrived in MTL and although he is skilled like no other...he's not the smartest player around. Loads of selfishness is also what you get.

Although Weber's game may be declining slightly...nobody can forecast what's coming. Lidstrom played great till he retired, Markov played awesome until a year ago. Weber still has good years ahead of him...and Montreal even save on cap hit (I don't pay his salary...so what do I care).

Subban had issues in the dressing room since day 1...Weber will bring much needed leadership to this group.

Off you go Subby...all the best.

 

[DSJW]

as a sens fan not thrilled about Weber coming into the div,but I am so so happy PK is out of the div Habs management

 

[Pandaman11]

Confirmed by the NHL

 

[SaintMorose]

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

He was a well deserved runner-up for the foundation player award this year, so that would be shocking.
I think they wanted more size and defensive zone play.

 

[crazyforhockey]

Im curious how weber will handle being in crazy cdn market....likes his privacy
Whereas subban was very comfortable in pressure cooker mtl
Understand mtl going for more solid defence meaness clear crease with weber....while keeping a high offensive input....less than pk subban though

 

[pappaf2]

I don't know why either team did this...

 

[BiPolar Caps]

And Rod Langway before them.

Habs got hosed big time.

Same GM involved in that one, David Poile.

 

[hirawl]

Weber over Subban. Ten times out of ten every day of the week.

 

[CJL182]

I got the NHL app update about the Hall - Larsson trade, so I went to TSN for more info. I subsequently saw this trade and the Stamkos re-signing, and my mind was blown. What a crazy day...

 

[gac3378]

By these crazy trades today I am guessing Canada enjoyed having no teams in the playoffs this year. Canadian hockey takes huge hits today. Bad trades in MTL, EDMONTON, and now no Stammer in TOR

 

[gifted88]

There has to be some underlying off-ice reason Subban was moved.

U Mad Bergevin?
