I'd also say they won the Ryan Johansen/Seth Jones trade as well, though it was a pretty logical trade. I'd say more than Subban for Weber straight up was.
I don't think they destroyed them in that trade though, like the other two trades we've talked about in this thread.
As evidenced by this year's post season run, the Subban/Weber deal was the the final crack in the dam that was holding back Nashvilles potential.
But the Johansen/Jones deal was a solid one (edge to Nashville) and the Forsberg/Erat deal (Washington still can't sit down with a donut) built the momentum to get to this place.
I tend to agree with this. I know Columbus fans seemed apprehensive at first, and for good reason, but this was a textbook win/win trade.I think Jones/Johansen is the most even trade in recent NHL history. Both sides won because they got exactly what they wanted, so I don't think its fair to give either team an edge.
Def Forsberg. Can you imagine Forsberg with the Caps right now? I think he might have put them over the hump and into the East finals.
Subban trade easily
The Foresberg is the far bigger rip off, however the Preds had Forsberg for a few years and didnt go far. Once someone was stupid enough to trade a #1 PMD in his prime to them, they end up winning the cup in the first season since the trade. That SHOULD cost someone their job tbh.
