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

[The Note]

I don't understand this from Montreal's perspective at all.

 

[KBstyle]

Who cares about the contract, cap hit is lower and when Ever is finish you trade him to Arizona!

I like Duncan but I'm fine with Weber if he lift the cup in the next 3 years!

 

[JuniorNelson]

AAAAaaaarrrgggggg!

 

[Primary Assist]

Wow I never thought the Hall trade would be the 2nd biggest of the day. How long til Patches loses the C?

 

[sergejean]

Thank you MB for moving PK out of our division and replacing him with an older, more ineffective d-man on a worse contract!

Is Subban-Josi the best pairing in the league now?

Pretty much this.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

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

The actual trade is gross but that is infinitely worse.

 

[JimsDoors]

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

Same here.

I had to read update title that I got twice to make sure I was reading it right.

 

[Bankerguy]

I think Weber is a better player....and his contract / age isnt really a turn-off for me.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Shea Weber is going to be ripped to pieces in Montreal lol poor guy

 

[JT Kreider]

RIP Brendan Gallagher. Would not want to have to stand in front of the net with Weber taking clappers from the blue line

 

[Brewsky]

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]

Yep - just wait until Josi isn't there to hide Weber's shortcomings.

Can't wait!

Out to lunch. In the astral plane. Smoking some really intoxicating stuff you are.

 

[cheswick]

If Weber retired early, Nashville is gonna get hit with a massive cap recapture penalty.

 

[DSJW]

I don't know that there's anything more Bergevin/Therrien could do to further alienate their own fans.

Right now I think the only thing that could make them more hated is kicking a puppy at center ice on opening night

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

If this was a HF trade proposal...a mod would've locked it up.

 

[JuJu Mobb]

I assume nashville did this to save some money from that huge Weber contract.

Weber is the better dman in this trade tho, imo.

I agree, and I love Subban as a player.

Weber is more complete, imo.

Does Shea Weber speak French?

Chez Weber. Of course he speaks French.

 

[Bruce Granville]

But, but, but...why?

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Ugh....as if the Central wasn't tough enough.....thanks MB

 

[Hockeygod66]

NHL execs are a bunch of idiots, then. I am truly convinced half of these guys have no idea what they are doing. I mean the guy is signed until age 40 as a physical defenseman in the NHL

Benning and Chiarelli love it!

 

[WatchfulElm]

This is reminiscent of the Halak deal. A trade that angers the fans (me included) because we trade away the most spectacular player, one that was beloved. But on the hockey level only, I can see how it makes sense. It's a giant gamble for sure, and we'll have to wait a few years to really evaluate this.

Montreal fans are reacting with a broken heart and that's understandable. But emotions aside, I'm willing to wait and see.

 

[SenzZen]

Condolences hab fans.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

****ing awful for MTL, love it!

 

[Soundgarden]

Yep - just wait until Josi isn't there to hide Weber's shortcomings.

Can't wait!

You can say the same thing about Josi, now Weber won't be there to hide his shortcomings. It's very obvious which people on here don't watch Nashville, or had the unfortune of watching the last game in the SJ series.

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.

I don't know if Weber is the best dman in the league but he's still one of the best and the overreaction is absolutely hilarious.
