This trade really makes no sense to me from the Canadiens perspective. You get an older defenseman that didn't look like himself this past season and looked absolutely horrible in the playoffs, for a younger dman that is one of the best skaters in the league and that has a Norris trophy to his resume and has consistently been one of the teams top point getters. Weber is still one of the best dmen in the league, but Subban is better at this point in their careers.
Weber has a lower cap hit and his contract is all but paid off. Gives them flexibility to add another top 4 dman.
