Around the League: Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson, Subban for Weber!

[hoglund]

Cant wait to have Weber taking slapshots at our team all year

I can, Montreal is going to be a much better team next year, I don't think Habs fans realize that they got the best player in the deal.

Even if you believe Weber is a better player than Subban....this trade doesn't make them much better at all. The difference there is so slim that the improvement won't be much. They traded their #1 D for another #1 D.

It's like the Leafs trading JVR for a slightly better winger and saying they are much improved.

The only improvement from last year for Montreal is Price not being hurt. So as normal they'll be a playoff team, just not a cup contender.

Habs got robbed by a back room business deal. Large American businesses are unscrupulous. Mark my words, Toronto will be next. Your Matthews will be in a Coyote's jersey under similar shady circumstances

Most would have answered with "Roman Josi" haha

Or maybe Ekholm and maybe even Ellis. What a wealth of D-men they have there.

 

[Bullseye]

Maybe the Preds flip Subban to Edmonton for RNH and Yak? Preds need forwards.

Maybe. Assuming Matthews cant get along with his teammates and is a turnover machine.

Subban and Weber are polar opposite players. Only difference is they both play D.

It would be like trading JVR for an older but way better winger.

JVR for Corey Perry? a decent comparison

 

[BertCorbeau]

Ekblad gets a big extension

But you forgot to mention McDavid signing with Leafs the year before....

Habs MGT doesn't want PK, it has nothing to do with business or anything.
If I am PK, I would ask for a trade to the Leafs just to stick it to the Habs.

Habs were robbed because they have terrible managment. Nothing more.

 

[Bullseye]

Montreal is a tire fire.

Radulov is the answer to all their problems - Radulov folks.

Party party party. Oh boy.

 

[Soundwave]

That's hysterical.

The Hedman dream is also squashed. Damn.
