Confirmed Trade: [MTL/NSH] PK Subban for Shea Weber

[Gene Parmesan]

$1.2 mil. caphit difference doesn't mean a whole lot in the long run.

Being free from a contractual obligation to a player 5 years sooner does.

Any cap space helps.

This will end up being pretty damn brutal for Montreal in a few years, if Weber declines as badly as analytics says he was during the playoffs. Weber will have an albatross contract by then. Ouch. Sorry, Habs fans.

I guess MB really likes the way Barberio has been moving the puck.

Did Canada just blow up?

Montreal downgrades defenders getting the older, higher paid, less effective player.
Edmonton trades a top 3-5 LW for a #3 defenseman.
Toronto loses hopes of signing Stamkos.

What else can possibly happen today?

 

[pitcher]

Just go and read the threads on both teams board, it is pretty telling.

MTL board : **** Bergevin, we lost the trade.
NSH board : Poile is a genius, we won the trade.

Both fanbase agree with this...

Pk is a stud.

Shea Weber is also a stud.

Pk scored 6 goals last year. Weber had 20.

Pk is 6'0 210lbs. Weber is 6'4 230lbs.

Pk might have character issues. Shea is a known leader.


People need to pull their heads out of their *****. It isn't this awful trade that others are making it out to be.

It;s not a good trade and PK score 6 goals in how many less games?

Subban is incredibly overrated

Subban is better than Weber and Weber's contract....woof

Subban is incredibly overrated

Just as overrated as Doughty, Karlsson and Keith are.

What happens if Weber retires two years early?

Weber is just owed so much money for so many years, and he's slowing down even if it's not so apparent now. It will be in a couple years. Josi propped him up a little lately in my opinion.

Didn't see this one coming.
