Speculation: Malcolm Subban

[Critical13]

I have been very impressed with his play so far this year. With Dansk playing well (when healthy), and MAF back, I wonder if Subban becomes available later this season?

It may require them to fall in the standings before it happens, but I think he'd be a good gamble for a team like Carolina, Arizona, NYI or Buffalo.

If Vegas has to consider moving a goalie, Subban is the last option they should consider. He has looked very good and is only 23. I'd move Fleury instead.

I guess I was assuming Fluery was the goalie of the next 3-5 years. Too long for Subban to ride the pine.

They made space for him by sending Packard down and then trading him to us so I have to think they want him. That said I expect most of their roster is still available if the price is right. They are certainly under no pressure to move anyone so who can say what they would demand for him.

Meh, I don't see it. Fleury has had concussion issues and another could put him out for a long time. Subban played exceptionally well while Fleury was out. I was honestly surprised Vegas went back to Fleury after he was cleared to play.

You could just as easily end up being right. I think VGK wants to keep one and will be happy to trade the other. MAF is still a top goalie, and Subban just proved himself to the organization.

Knowing George McPhee, he'll probably trade whichever guy brings in a bigger trade return, and keep the other. Considering Subban was on waivers earlier in the year and has little to no track record, MAF is probably the guy they will trade. Not sure if they do it in-season or not, especially since they're in a playoff spot. But they can wait a while still. Both guys have another year on their contracts after this one.

his value is unknown. he's only looked good in a handful of games. if lindgren's value is a 3rd/4th, then his value is also a 3rd/4th

some are pushing for Lindgren being worth a late first if not more

but I agree--a small sample size got a goalie does not mean a lot

Can't really see either being moved, especially this season.

 

[Soundgarden]

Why? Vegas has already said they wanted to mold Subban's game the way they wanted to before Fleury went down. He's only 23 and goalies don't hit their prime until their mid to late 20's, by the time Fleury's gone he should be ready to take the reins.

Would love to see the islanders take a shot with this guy. Don't think Vegas moves him unless its an overpayment. Maybe vegas could be enticed with MDC, 5th overall pick well on his way to being a bust, but might turn it around in a different atmosphere. would be a gamble both ways.

Vegas is building. They shouldn’t trade away a young talented goalie.

Nobody's trading that much for a player you just described as well on his way to being a bust. Nail Yakupov got a 3rd, Dal Colle isn't getting Subban.

 

[Pirate Deadpool]

Flower would be traded before Subban so that vgk could afford to extend some of the guys on offense.

i wouldnt give up too much for a goalie ( or any player ) that only has a whopping 13 NHL games under his belt.
