You continue to overvalue Weber's offensive game, focused as you are on his goals, which come largely from someone setting him up for his booming shot. Subban is able to contribute to his team's offensive game in a far more comprehensive and complete fashion than Weber does. His point & goal totals may end up slightly lower than Weber's in a given year, but the team ends up vastly the better for having Subban on it than Weber. It's been demonstrated over and over and over again that Subban tilts the ice in his team's favour when he's playing, while Weber is largely just "there". Add in the 4-year age gap and Weber's ludicrous contract and "lateral" remains a generous description of the infamous deal. It was a misguided move in the short term, and colossally stupid one in the medium and long terms.
