Value of: PK Subban to the Leafs.

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Before we get started I am aware of PK's year in NJ, and I am aware of what he makes but here is the thing, I don't believe we are seeing the real PK in NJ, even in his last year in Nashville he was on pace for 40 points had he played 82 games and yet he had a "down" year.

You then take him and put him on one of the worst teams in hockey and then act surprised when he doesn't produce at his normal.

It's not like he's 36 he's only 30 he's not done.

I think if you take him nd you put him on a team with as much talent as the Leafs have you'd see what PK REALLY has left.

If the Devils are embracing the rbuildd and they appear to be he should be available.
The catch is I don't think any team takes on the whole 9 million.

And yes Leafs CAN fit him in, they have the LTIR space with Ceci on LTIR with no core pieces to sign.

Starts with NJ retaining 50% and wanting nothing substantial in return.

So unlikely

 

[TrufleShufle]

Interesting, don't think I've seen a PK to the leafs proposal before. This should be both refreshing and non redundant. Expecting very constructive conversation here.

 

[Advanced stats]

Wouldn't want him at 50%.

He's content to give 70% effort and get paid.
He's overpaid and fallen off a cliff.

 

[BlueBaron]

Makes 0 sense but I love PK. He'll be a Leaf in the Spezza way or not at all IMO. Let's talk again in 5 or 6 years.

Wow where do we sign up? Truth is if NJ trades Subban, Simmonds, and Vatanen they’ll have trouble making the cap floor. No need to get rid of Subban as his cap isn’t affecting them negatively at all. Definitely not going to retain on him and get nothing substantial back.

So yes, very unlikely.

I don't think that's true, I think he needs to get to a place where he can play with actual talent

I don't see how trading PK away makes any sense for NJD. They have had a brutally dismal season, and are already sellers. But PK is different. They have no reason to ditch him for little-to-no return. But they also can't expect a large return if he's not producing at all.

Their best bet is to see if he turns it around next season. Then they have a guy contributing, and he can either help them try to have a bounceback year or maybe get some value from a PK trade. But selling him now for less than the two 2nds they paid makes no sense.

I'm a Leafs fan, and would love to have PK on the team, but there's issues with that side of the coin, as well. There would have to be retention, and if he is a dud for the next two years then Leafs made a big mistake that could sink some prime years.

No deal to be had.

 

[TGWL]

They're not getting anything good back for him right now and the cap doesn't hurt them. I see no reason to trade him. Eat the season and see what happens next year before making a move since nobody is going to bite with actual assets they need.

 

[Liferleafer]

I'll just go with a polite no. No need to rehash the same old reasons.

 

[Dustin]

NJ should be smart enough to know not to trade PK at his absolute lowest value of his career. They don't have to worry about cap space and are not competing this year so why move a player unless you are going to get something back that would help the team?

 

[Funk21]

My mom once told me if you ain’t got nothing nice to say don’t say anything. Flat no to this even at 50% and costing nothing.

 

[olli]

Bad idea for both teams

 

[SotasicA]

Subban for Nylander.

Leafs get rid of Nylander and gain a Norris-winning d-man.

because Nylander is complete cancer on the Leafs, lol.

 

[torniojaws]

Subban might be 30 physically, but he's a checked-out 45yo mentally.

 

[Liferleafer]

because Nylander is complete cancer on the Leafs, lol.

Hell ya!! Only 27 points last season!!! HAHAHA!!


Oh wait...he's playing this season? How many points?? Merde....

I think the poster was being sarcastic

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Love the Leafs to so this take a declining player that will disrupt the room, like a expensive slow Trojan Horse

I know...so was I.

 

[Curufinwe]

If you check the Subban trade thread you'll see some hilarious bad takes, like the guy who was laughing at Dubas for missing out on PK because he overpaid Nylander.

Absolutely no use . Too much risk. We have that type of D man already. Just dont see him regaining former self. Hard pass from leafs

 

[Sparksrus3]

I don't think that's true,

I think he needs to get to a place where he can play with actual talent

So the leafs are not a fit since they have little talent on D.

Subban only 30 but a lot of hard mileage on his body.
