Confirmed Trade: [BUF/CHI] Malcolm Subban for future considerations

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

That dude keeps getting traded. Talk about a journey man.

Different guy, there are 2 Future Considerations like there are 2 Sebastian Aho's.

This guy is better than the other Future Considerations.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Was never a fan of Subban so have no issue here

Going to Buffalo is probably good for him with injuries they have had and such so he likely see's some games this year at some point

 

[Deen]

This future considerations guy is sure a suitcase around the league.

 

[jetsforever]

Must suck for the players who get traded for "future considerations"

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Another legend Bruins first round draft pick.

 

[Senor Catface]

Wait, but Buffalo already traded their future considerations to New Jersey for Will Butcher.

Clear violation of the CBA!

They just have a lot to consider.

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

Well the price was right.

 

[Pengu]

Talk about a lateral move....
Not better than what the Sabers already have.

 

[Rastin]

He should be a clear upgrade on Aaron Dell, if he's not he'll be on the waiver wire within the month.

All we're looking for here is replacement level goaltending while we wait for Anderson to return. Dell has been..... bad. Tokarski has been very inconsistent. He'll look great one night and look like an ECHL keeper the next. It's been frustrating.

I find PK to be a really likable guy, at least off the ice. Hopefully Malcolm has a bit of that in him to help recoup whatever positivity has been lost in the last few weeks. Well, that, and not being a complete sieve.

 

[NYR94]

Keep adding questionable goaltending only to have to keep looking for a good goalie. Maybe one day it will make sense lol

Maybe they're hoping all the questionable goalies will combine like into one legit starter like some goalie version of Voltron or something.

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

Sabres just keep embarrassing me as a fan of the team.

Subban for a bag of new pucks.

Subban for a bag of new pucks.

Overpay. 1 used puck would have been fair.

 

[Taylorst]

Goalies are so unpredictable . Chicago track record of producing elite goalies is very strong. However you can bring a goalie up and he may have a exceptionally lucky season only to never again repeat or improve upon , then you find certain gems who become lights out year after year all star goalies.

It's been a very long time since the nhl as a whole has had numerous high end elite goalies playing.

They just have a lot to consider.

It certainly gives us something to consider for now and probably into the future.

 

[DFF]

Lucky guy

The starting job is his if he is any good

 

[Dicky113]

I completely forgot Subban was a first round pick

seems like forever ago

In fairness, he was a first round pick by Boston. It’s not the same thing.

 

[Spectra]

Lol, poor BUF, what a massive overpayment!

 

[Zman5778]

Also he likes to lose his net after making the first save.

You're saying he can make the first save??? Yep, that's an upgrade for us.

 

[Taylorst]

I think if you step back and look at buffalo current standing there not making the playoffs so with that in mind why trade a asset or high pick for a high paid backup , the easiest route and least costly is exactly the route buffalo took.

Subban is just a stop gap in a season that is already decided.

 

[Svechhammer]

....And Subban had to leave tonight's game with an injury in the middle of the 3rd after giving up 6.

 

[Kublakhan]

Not a very good start for Subban... But the Sabres sucked really bad tonight as a team...Yay.. Go.. Team....

 

[Chainshot]

And he's now hurt. Well... that didn't last long.

Subban for a bag of new pucks.

New? A whole bag-full? Don't push your luck
