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

[stuffradio]

This is an insane trade. Can't believe the Habs traded a franchise figure like this. It's akin to Canucks trading the franchise player in Luongo, with the banners and everything having to come down the next day.

 

[Elliman]

This is truly a blockbuster trade. Haven't seen a 1for1 like this in a long time

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Weber regressed this season and Subban is the heartbeat of that Montreal team.

Glad to have PK out of this division

Honestly this might be worse than the Hall deal.

I just made this account to comment in this thread.

I've been lurking on HF for about 4 years and I just made this account to comment in this thread

 

[theMajor]

I dont understand this trade at all

 

[Hull Fan]

Subban in the Central? WTF is this ****? Why Montreal why?

 

[JustAHabFan]

Insane, great deal for both sides.

Absolutely not. we got fleeced.

 

[Liferleafer]

I'm sorry Habs fans....but this just made my day!!

 

[CostaMtl]

**** YOU BERGEVIN. **** you CH. Never been a Nordique fans but watch me when they come back. Molson your beer will taste sour for a very long time.

Subban for an older and not better def. Bergevin ****ing incompetent

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

But what about in 3 years

 

[The Lewler]

Lol wuttttttttttttttt

Is this real life?

 

[agent082]

No argument here.

Can't understand why Montreal did this? I love Weber, but age gap doesn't make sense to me.


Pretty big slap in the face to PK as well, wonder if he can take back that 10 mil and give it to a Nashville Children's hospital?

Please stop. Sick kids from Montreal didn't do this trade.

 

[Andre Palot]

Looks like Chia is no longer the "worse GM in the NHL"

 

[Lehkonen4Calder]

Jesus this is awfull. If Weber was 2-3 years younger ok but the guy is soon 31

 

[BigWilly]

I don't know how to react to all this..

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

Is this real life?

There's no way this isn't a dream.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

A team that is not competing now trades a 27 year old defenseman for a 30 year old one.
I can't see how this deal makes any sense from Montreal's point of view. I think the organization will look back at this as one of their worst trades since the lockout.
Bergevin has probably written his ticket out of town with this move.

 

[Lemmiwinks]

What a crazy, crazy day. Keep it coming GMs!

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

 

[La Bamba]

This trade was made purely because the management didn't like PK off the ice IMO.

 

[Chez Weber]

So the foxhole buddies won after all. I'm not watching any hockey for a while

The guy made a 10M donation to the children hospital while a lot of players don't have the personality that fits the role of a super star in Montreal PK had it and now he's gone. If Weber was 25 yo it would have been good value, but he's 30

 

[Fazkovsky]

NSH had to add JOhansen

 

[Stjonnypopo]

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

That's what's confusing about this...

If Montreal was worried about Subban's NMC and being shackled with his contract, why trade for an older defenceman on a longer contract? All they did was cut a little over 1M per year in cap hit.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

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

no logic, bergevin is just a dumb stupid **** piece of ****
cant believe this
