Confirmed with Link: P.K.Subban traded to NJ for Santini, Davies, two 2nds

[Nico the Draft Riser]

I think they are super high on Smith. Even at his age.

Another McAvoy?

 

[jfc64]

So you got Hughes, Subban and have 26 million in cap space with only a handfull of players to sign... now, where is this "New Jersey"?

 

[DerekDevils30]

I think they are super high on Smith. Even at his age.

I think so too. They may very well have him in the top 4 right off the bat.

 

[REM17]

And now Nurse, Poolparty and Lucic for Butcher and McLeod and

RFA Marner, Zaizev for Wood and Vats

And we are set.

 

[Whaddagoal]

I’m still fired up

You ain't alone, haha!

 

[tr83]

grrrrreeeeeaaaaatttttttttt what a couple of days, so nice to be a Devils fan i think my next jersey will be nr 76...good luck in NJ PK

If Lou were still here, PK would have to wear 7.6

 

[jkrdevil]

If Lou were still here, PK would have to wear 7.6

Subban would have fit within Lou’s definition of an established star in the Richer, Gilmour, Jagr vain.

 

[glenwo2]

Did we? Was this since I came back?

But im pumped! This is a great deal for us

Hmm...maybe it was someone else.

Regardless, no one should have an issue with his attitude or what-have-you.

and yes, it was a great deal considering we got him for a bad song and a crappy dance. lol

[Emperoreddy]

The main boards guesses on what we gave up were hilarious. Hall, Severson.

 

[regulahbread]

Maybe Santini was included in this trade so Marner can wear 16

 

[Saugus]

I haven't been back here in damn near 3 years, but I'm amused to see that main board trade proposals are as ridiculous as ever.

When I saw it hit Twitter I figured Butcher's name would be in there but it wasn't.

They were not happy at the cheapness of the price we paid. I haven’t checked the Nashville board yet to see their take.

I was shocked Santini was the only guy sent that played a NHL game.

 

[schoenfeld]

waking up to my favorite player in the league being a new jersey devil is a great hangover cure

At his peak Subban was a horse.Not sure what happened or why he lost a step, and whether it's permanent or not.

One of the best at spin-o-ramas type of puck protection.Sick edge work.Very strong.Can lay some devastating open-ice hits, but rarely does it.Just a tease for you Scott Stevens fans.

One thing I remember about Subban is that he was clutch.

OTOH, he was a really bad at playing the clock.It's his style to try to dangle a player at the end of a tied game with nobody behind him.

I also think there has to be some truth to the rumors that his personality off the ice can be a distraction, beyond any discussion of racism.

Wish you guys good luck, but truth be told I'm glad we got Shea Weber in Montreal in light of how Subban's career and reputation is turning out.But Subban is young enough to get his stuff together and become a Norris contender again.

Cap space is an underrated asset.

I thought Vatanen would be a part of it. I was fully okay with Vatanen + Wood + 2nd.

This is better than I anticipated though.

Good thing for him is he will virtually be out of the spotlight in NJ.

Shero and Hynes should just tell him to play his game. Be himself, nobody in the league will care what he does in NJ like they did in Montreal and to a lesser degree Nashville.

Reminds me a lot of the same issues they said about Hall. Sometimes it helps to acquire a guy who has perceived issues, get to know them better, show some faith in them, and push them to be a better player.

and how is that?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Where are all the usual suspects who talk about "Cap space isn't an asset unless you use it"?

I wonder...

 

[captainscott]

At least we went big on this one and didn't try and take a flyer on Olli Maatta or some cheap reclamation project. This is exactly what we needed.

agreed. and if smith is what we think he will be the team is now injecting 2 new defenseman into the lineup next season... all of a sudden when you look at our defense it starts to look pretty damn respectable on paper.. this team could be dangerous next season..

 

[BenchBrawl]

and how is that?

Well if he was still a Norris contender, would he get traded for a bag of pucks?

The guy is 30 years old, not 37.Doug Harvey won his first of seven Norris trophies at age 30.Defensemen can age like good wine.Everything Scott Stevens did for you guys in the playoffs happened after age 30.

So Subban getting traded for virtually nothing at that age is not exactly reflecting highly on him, is it?

 

[Roomtemperature]

We got current NHL 19 coverstar? Neat

They're analyzing the situation and looking for the next thing to complain about
