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

[hisgirlfriday]

Does Shea Weber speak French?

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Nashville has gone from a pretty boring team a few years ago to one of the fun ones to watch. They have some great pieces now.
Going to be a fun year for the fans!

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Good deal for both teams better for Nashville in the long run since PK is 4 years younger

 

[SEALBound]

I gotta be honest, this is a trade I NEVER would have put together. Wow....I am actually stunned...just...wow...

 

[KGL]

Sums up my life.

So much easier to like Subban now.

For sure. Always wanted to like Subban but couldn't because of the Habs. Seems like a great guy, he'll be incredible in Nashville.

As for Weber in Montreal, uhhh, enjoy that contract and decline in play...

 

[beowulf]

He is totally right.

 

[robertocarlos]

Subban is a *****cat?

Edit: Sorry I didn't think my comment would offend. It's a legit group, Josi and the Ps.

 

[Flair Hay]

Lol really...

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Subban is better. Great deal for Nsh.

 

[Saskatoon]

If Nashiville had included a 1st round pick would Preds fans even be mad?

 

[Elliman]

This is just absolutely insane by Montreal. WTF are they thinking?

 

[ADifferentTim]

Wow, just visiting HFBoards for the first time today and the whole main board is having a meltdown.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Is it Anthony Stewart the player?

Yes.

 

[MaritimeHockeyNut]

Out with the drama and in with solidifying your defence. I for one thing this will make Montreal stronger albeit it should of been Weber+. And that's from a bruins fan. Now I have to get some mouthwash. Lol

 

[shootscores]

I cannot beleive anybody is against this trade . Montreal wins in a big way. Probably the best defenseman in the league. By far, my favorite dman. Don't lose anything but attitude in this deal and I think the locker room just improved 100% over night. Our first overall draft pick this year will eventually be Weber's partner once Markov retires. All is looking good in Hab land.

 

[AtlasRust]

So I dunno how much of what I'm about to type is hyperbole but...

If I was a MTL fan this would cause me to find another team. Subban has been disrespected more than any other player in the history of the NHL. Dude just donated $10M to a ****ing children's hospital and this is how they repay him.

Unbelievable. I wouldn't blame him for a second if he took back his donation.

 

[BonMorrison]

Subban already updated his Twitter bio.

 

[End on a Hinote]

Never would've thought that i'd be seeing Weber wear another teams Jersey!

Agree, nor would I have ever expected to see Subban wear another uniform within the foreseeable future.

Possibly the most shocking FA transaction in the last few years, IMO.

 

[absolute garbage]

I have the same stance actually, although I'm a huge Subban fan I think he had his worst season last year.

I don't necessarily think the Habs lost this trade, unless Subban reaches 65+ points and 15+ goals. Last season Subban was one of the reasons Habs had a poor PP, so predictable and couldn't hit the net, and he also made terrible turnovers and took stupid and selfish penalties at the worst times. Still, a very very talented skater and puck mover. If Subban plays up to his potential Habs lose this trade.

You do realize Weber has one of the worst contracts in the league?

EVEN if he got closer to the level he once was in the next 5 or so years and was a great player for you, he's still going to cost you 7.9M annually till he is 41. Those last 5-6 years are going to be absolutely brutal for the whole organisation.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

PK is gonna have a beast of a year next year and this will look even more silly

I hope he wins the Norris just to rub in how utterly incompetent Bergevin is. That ****ing idiot placed more value on Michel goddamn Therrien than Subban. That's... disgusting.

 

[Empoleon8771]

This is a deal that doesn't even work in EHM, wow. This is a straight up insane trade.

 

[Kimota]

27 years old with a contract that ends at 35 years old
Vs
30 years old with a contract that ends at 40 years old.

I'm done as an Habs fan. This is the nail in the coffin. I have the same feeling than the day Patrick Roy was traded.

Yet you're still here bleeding red, white and blue.

 

[Yarborough]

Guess the Montreal management was playing a little too much NHL 16

 

[OneManArmy]

Craziest hour in NHL off season history?

 

[Godzilla]

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.

I dont think its all that bad either, but I woudnt dare go against the HF grain. All the experts here will be up in arms...
