I don't think they are better than Subban. You can bottled them up all together along with Weber and Doughty, it's a matter of preference imo. All in all though, we have a guy here that absolutely thrives off pressure, that loves the media attention of playing in a city like Mtl, so why make a bilateral move? Just pointless.Keith and Suter are both better than Subban. Subban is more creative offensively than either and more physical, or at least with the bigger hits, but defensively both are ahead of him.
What if Suter doesn't like Mtl? Then what? Not to mention PK is a lot more valuable as a marketing tool and as much as people like to crap on him for dumb penalties or scrimmage tussles, can you point at one instance where this guy didn't seem happy?
I wouldn't move PK for any Dmen.
To be honest, I don't care so much about cap hits, the cap is so high, teams have issues reaching the floor. I tend to put more importance on the length of the deal. Suter is set to get paid until he's 40. Trading his contract for Subban's isn't the smartest idea.The length of Suter's contract sucks, but the cap hit is what, 2 mill less ?
The forwards, while they make our forward group great, it does open a hole on the backend. Though, getting Tavares/Stamkos/Malkin leave Galchenyuk open to trade, which could help us land a very good dman.
So we would lose Galchenyuk too? Come on now, it all sounds pointless.
