If I’m building a team I’m taking Hedman over PK, and I don’t think that should even be questioned. PK is great but Hedman clearly has more to offer (ie being 6’7). Longer reach, better skater, less of a hothead, better anticipation.
Sure but we never had Hedman in the Habs pipeline. We did however have PK Subban and we traded him for an old broken down dman that's signed until he's 40yrs old! We could have had PK and Sergachev anchoring the defense as a perenial cup contender, instead we have one of the worst defenses in the league! Considering the great legendary Canadiens defenseman of the past and we don't even have any bluechip defensive prospects, this is quite embarassing!
Also Hedman cost Tamps a #2 OA pick. Habs drafted Subban in the 2nd round allowing them to draft both Pacioretty and McDonagh that year. Subban was basically like finding money in between the sofa cushions.
