Please don't let him go to Toronto. Nobody wants to deal with all that drama.

"Boston Hockey Now's Jimmy Murphy cited multiple NHL sources claiming the Bruins looked into what it would take to acquire Subban “on more than one occasion.” Murphy felt the former Norris Trophy winner would be a big-moment player who could anchor the Bruins' power play. Murphy also said the Toronto Maple Leafs have “more than lukewarm interest” in the Toronto native."

Why would the Bruins do this? Typical.

 

[Gravity]

As a Habs fan, yuck! He would look awful in either of those hideous sweaters.

 

[kerrabria]

Does he even have positive value at 50% retained?

 

[Hitemwith4]

Leafs have no cap space

No way Subban fits even @ 50%, this seems like a click bait rumour

 

[Prairie Habs]

With what cap? Even with max retention neither team is close to being able to fit him.

 

[Troublesome 85]

Bruins need a #1 LHD not another RHD

 

[The Rochester Rocket]

I am guessing it would have to be at 50% retained and NJ taking a undesired contract back to maximize value

Well they said kind of that they've just had long standing interest, it seems.

But in theory, at half retained the Leafs could send cap space back to the Devils.

But, my unexpert opinion says that he's not what the Leafs need. Although maybe they think the fans will get a kick out of it.

I wouldn't mind him in Toronto but tha's a deadline move

 

[ottomaddox]

Well...Dubas has a 2022 1st round pick he's dying to use.

Calling on Arizona to be part of a 3way for cap purposes!

 

[unicornpig]

even at 50 percent retained the leafs cant fit him

Hello Bruins. Like we as maple leafs don't have that cap size neither sire. We ain'ts also need for a subban. He aaight, tight and cool, I like him and his gezame, but we ain'ts have the need for him sire. Him and simmonds and gabriel and ritchie would kill-big-time in toronto. Party up and all, hits checks and fights, but we ain't have that money space. We do have the money, the power and the personel though. But not the room.

Some of our other suckas would have to move into the other direction. Like -50% and Dermott and Engvall. Would it be enough even then. Some other fool might add that upp and calculate with math sire. But we ain't probably gon do it sire.

I knew when Johnston and Friedman talked about "big name/big promise" it was Pernell-Karl Sylvester.

[HugeInTheShire]

Why does everyone assume either team would be taking on his full cap hit? Devils would likely retain 50% and take a contract to ensure either team would be cap compliant.
As for Subban, I think people would be surprised by the return the Devils could get, he’s already been paid most of his money, so he’s making almost nothing in real $
That being said I don’t see any reason the Devils would move him right now, they finally filled the hole at RD and shouldn’t be to keen on creating a new one

On behalf of the Bruins....

"Boston Hockey Now's Jimmy Murphy cited multiple NHL sources claiming the Bruins looked into what it would take to acquire Subban “on more than one occasion.”

Oh thank God - Jimmy Murphy is the one reporting this. It pretty much guarantees that the Bruins are not interested at all.

 

[Strangelove]

Well...Dubas has a 2022 1st round pick he's dying to use.

HA! So true.

Kerfoot + 1st for PK 50% retained?


Bruins, Maple Leafs Linked to Devils' P.K. Subban

 

[Brodeur]

Previous discussion got merged here: Rumor: - Devils looking to move Subban?

TL;DR Devils might move Subban closer to the deadline if they're not in playoff contention. Not much news there.

 

[Rude Dog]

Only way is if the Leafs move Rielly as part of the deal. Leafs would be looking for one of the Devils top prospects back. I am not a fan of Subban at all. But something like Subban retained plus Dawson Mercer for Rielly ? Would hate to lose Rielly for nothing. But god I hope they look in a different direction than Subban.

 

[Artemi Panarin]

Dear god, why?

 

[TD Charlie]

I don’t see a fit for Boston right now. I can’t envision a scenario where it makes sense at the TDL either, but ask again around that time I guess.
