Proposal: P.K. Subban

[Laveuglette]

He is apparently being shopped, and a D of his caliber could really help us turn things around. With the GM change, we also know that the Flyers are trying to improve short term. Subban could be a very interesting fit. What would you guys be willing to give for him?

Subban will turn 30 next month and is signed for 3 more years at 9M per.

I'd give Magua and a conditional 6th for him

 

[AdamParrot]

Give mu Subban, woooo!! Do it Chuck!

11OA + Hagg + prospect (expect Frost, Farabee).

Unreal. Why not also throw in giroux?

 

[tictactoe]

Why not throw money at Karlsson and keep 11th in this very strong draft.
If we are shopping Gost try to target center.

Oh, sorry. Expect is wrong word. I thought: NO Frost, NO Farabee.

This is the most Torontian proposal i've ever heard.

 

[NYCFlyer]

Subban has had chronic neck and back problems. Those are tough on a defenseman. He isnt worth it imo.

 

[TCTC]

Subban is a great player when healthy and I like his contract. But his health issues worry me a bit.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Why don't we hire a competent coach and let him play Ghost to his best advantage and let PK **** off somewhere else instead?

Because that's the easy way and not #FlyersHockey.

Shocker.

 

[David St Hubbins]

PK is not a big point producing upgrade, is older, has health concerns, a questionable locker room history, and costs a lot more.

 

[Delete99991]

Shocker.

Yes, I'd like to trade a bad defenseman for a good one.

Check with Hexy's plan and let me know if this is ok.

Lol because I don’t think Ghost is a bad defenseman like you do makes me a Hexy follower?

Edit: If Ghost is such a bad defenseman then why does Nashville accept that offer?

 

[deadhead]

What will Nashville give to get from under his contract is a better question?
Subban was once a top D-man. Once upon a time.

Last five years:
E +/-: 5.9, 1.9, 9.2, -5.1, -3.8
xGF/60: 0.051, 0.033, 0.074, 0.060, 0.055
xGA/60: 0.010, -0.071, -0.083. 0.053, 0.081
GAR EV: 8.9, 10.8, 4.8, 7.3, 1.0
PP EV: 2.5, 2.7, 3.1, 3.2, -0.4
SH: 3.7, 0.6, 1.1, 1.3, -2.0

His offense has held up, but his defense has steadily deteriorated to where he's below average.
Flyers don't need him on the PP, but could use him at ES if he's healthy
You have to wonder if the injuries have taken their toll, and how he'll hold up from 30-32.

 

[wasup]

I want P K Soup Can no where near this org .

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

I have always liked PK. With how bland personalities in the NHL are compared to the NFL, he never rubbed me the wrong way.

Unfortunately his injuries are becoming a concern. Too risky.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Would fans still boo him every time he touches the puck?

 

[Rebels57]

No interest in PK with that contract unless cost is very low.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Nothing wrong with that contract. He was probably a top 5 defenseman in the league prior to this season. I don’t have access to his medical records, but that’s what you have to figure out.

His age, wear & tear, and medical concerns are WHY the contract scares me. A healthy PK with a lot of miles left in his prime is obviously worth it.

There's not enough difference between the two to justify the 125% disparity in cap hits.

 

[FLYguy3911]

He’s 29 and it’s essentially a 3 year deal. I mean that’s as ideal as it gets.

I don’t know how serious his injuries are and obviously that’s up to the team to explore and if he’s not going to finish his contract (which seems unlikely) you don’t do the deal, but cmon. You’re acting like it’s a 7 year deal taking him to 40.

No idea what his trade value is like now and that’s ultimately what gets me to say yes or no, but PK in a vacuum is someone I would look to add.
