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

[beowulf]

Who care about Team Canada. I have seen a lot of Weber and I am convinced Subban is better than Veber right now. On top, he is 3/4 years younger.

Agreed, Subban is younger and as good as Weber at this time. The tiny cap savings is not worth it.

This is beyond stupid move if straight Weber for Subban.

still waiting for the blue chip prospect and the 1st coming along to be announced

 

[TheSauceBoss]

God, the Central just gets tougher and tougher...

 

[aemoreira1981]

So I am not in the Ea sports threads right now. These trades really happened...what the what?!?

It's been that kind of day. This would have been mocked if proposed here.

 

[gamer1035]

Damn, I bet habs fans would much rather take the jvr + nylander package I offered

 

[Brewsky]

Josi and Subban OMGGGGGG

 

[MikeK]

Yeah. I like Weber a lot, but this trade is a run away steal for NSH. This stinks of internal politics. If I'm a MTL fan I am pissed right off.

Bergevin HAS to be making cap space for something else. There is no other explanation...

I imagine he was clearing space for a Stamkos offer, and everything was good to go before Stamkos' agent broke the news to the suitors.

Nashville asked Montreal, "still want to do it?" and Montreal just did it.
Bigger, more experienced, "safer", reliable, and cheaper All-Star D, locked in long term.

It's a confusing deal, but its not a bad one.

 

[Bobby Digital]

What the hell are the Canadiens doing?

 

[SCP Guy]

Thanks for trading him into the central ..... stupid Montreal

 

[Ingvar]

I mean, when people said Bergevin was a bad GM, I was not convinced. Until today. What a deal

 

[The Night King]

Is this real life?

 

[LV*]

PK Subban at 27 >>> Weber at 30

Factor in the marketing abilities of Subban + Weber's contract... Makes it an even bigger win for NSH. HUGE fan of Weber but this is just stupid.

 

[Seanaconda]

what is weber cap hit per year?

Somewhere in the 7ns I think

 

[viper0220]

Holy smokes.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Preds are gonna be so damn good next year.

Marc Bergevin (born August 11, 1965) is a retired Canadian professional hockey defenceman and current (and soon to be ex) disowned general manager of the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League. He is known for making dumb trades like PK Subban to the Predators for 4th defenseman Shea Weber.

 

[Brewsky]

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.

Weber won't have Josi to cover him anymore, just watch.

Subban will have a better year than Weber.

 

[Swarez]

Imagine if the Habs didn't bridge Subban - bergy screwed this team.

I love Weber but he won't hAve anywhere near the same talent as a partner beside him, I doubt he will be able to play the grind em out slow games Nashville used to do in a couple years.

I could see Habs missing the playoffs again this year, if that happens Price could walk the year after.

Berg has no plan for this team.

 

[1865]

One of the worst trades of the decade and one that will continue to get worse as the years pass.

 

[wal11682]

This is confusing... Subban is 4 years younger, so Nashville gains a few years with just a slightly worse defenseman...

And I bet this is big for markering as well, Nashville has got a big black population so to have a black superstar might be good for business as well.

They traded a potential black superstar defenseman 6 months ago....really doubt this has anything to do with marketing.

 

[Byrddog]

Montreal fans are going to crucify Weber. The guy does not take shifts off he takes games off. He will be a whipping boy before the year is up. [mod]

 

[Stjonnypopo]

Kind of funny how the same people who **** all over Subban's deal for a year suddenly have nothing to say right now... Weber's isn't any better (in fact I think it's considerably worse given the term) but now it's almost as if Subban's deal is good?

 

[sxvnert]

So Subban wasn't a problem in the dressing room eh?

 

[MXD]

Is it Anthony Stewart the player?
