In the past, what has a player of Subban's caliber returned in a trade?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Indeed. This team has needed a #1D ever since he left. I would not turn my nose up at Subban. It would instantly change the dynamic of the team and push them forward. Yes it would suck to lose Hall but Subban > Hall. It's just that simple.

That being said Montreal would be braindead to move him.

They are braindead to treat him like he's a bit of burden, the way it seems they do.

The valuation of Subban is way off on this board. What would you guys want if we traded Klefbom? Whatever the price, double it for Subban.

Would anybody on this board trade Klefbom for Kessel? to me Hall for Subban is similar value. And MTL needs a #1 RHD just as much as we do. Petry can't replace Subban.

 

[syz]

If the deal is built around Hall for Subban, I would sure hope that the 4th wouldn't be involved.

Losing Hall is only tolerable if you get to walk up and draft Tkachuk.

Not without getting the #9 back.

Hall, Nurse, #4 (probably Dubois, knowing MTL) for Subban and #9 (Sergachev/Chychrun/Juolevi)?

Assuming Lucic is already lined up.

Still dunno why Montreal would really be incentivized.

Renaud Lavoie reporting:

"More interest for PK Subban since 48 hours. I count close to 10 teams who have interest in PK. Canadiens are not shopping him. That being said, Marc Bergevin has a job to do and needs to listen to the offers for Subban."

[McOvechking]

I know I have lost a little respect around here for my rumours not coming to fruition. That being said, nothing has come to fruition.

Regardless, it sounds like the Oilers and Habs will not be able to make a deal for Subban after all. The asking price is just too steep to stomach. I expect the Oilers will loom elsewhere to fix their defense.

 

[duul]

Subban doesn't get moved unless a capable defenceman and an incredible prospect are coming back. If we get Subban I have a feeling Klef and Nurse going the other way. Also, why is someone who thinks Francois Beauchemim is a top 5 defenceman in the NHL allowed to vote?

No... I want to eventually see a Nurse - Subban pairing. One mean defensively minded defenseman, and a dynamo on offense who has some $#!T-disturbing qualities to his game. It seems like a natural pairing.

Truth be told, if it turned out to be Nurse or nothing, I would be fine with seeing Nurse go - I would hate it, but I would see the sense to it. The Oil cannot pass up on Subban if they can get him.

 

[Paralyzer]

Wouldn't that be something Winnipeg trades for 3rd Overall and takes Puljujärvi and Columbus takes Patrik Laine.

 

[Young Lions*]

You'd have to think Montreal would be more interested in a centre though, no?

How are off is:

RNH, #4, Yak?
RNH, #4, Reinhart?
RNH, #4, Davidson?

Draisaitl, #4?

Drai+Nurse+4OV for PK +9OV

A top 6 C, a future top 4 D and a top 6 LW, all cost controlled and expansion protected.

 

[McDrai]

I wonder if MTL would bite on #4 overall + Nurse + Yak for Subban
Might have to swap Yak for Ebs or RNH though for cap reasons

 

[doubledown99]

There is no where else to look....the only #1 dman available is Subban. Hamonic is the only top pairing guy available (and he actually may not be available either).

I wanted Demers for a while but looked deeper into him and the guy is injury prone. So now I'm really not keen on the Oilers signing him.

Our options are very limited. Chia should do whatever it takes to pry Subban out of MTL.

 

[Halibut]

Eric brewer Doug lunch and Jeff woywitka

Jeffery Lupul, Ladislav Smid, 2 1sts and a 2nd

It would have to be compelling for the Jets to do it.

The ask is rumoured to be Hall + Nurse + 4th overall.

Not even remotely worth it in my mind.

 

[NeutralZone]

Subban is a #1 dman. If A team is willing to trade a #1 dman, no Edmonton player should be off the table except McDavid. Losing Hall would suck, but if he's what it takes, and the value of the deal overall is fair, Chia should pull the trigger.

 

[McDrai]

The ask is rumoured to be Hall + Nurse + 4th overall.

Not even remotely worth it in my mind.

That's way too much. Maybe Chia can get them down to Eberle + Nurse + 4th overall

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

The ask is rumoured to be Hall + Nurse + 4th overall.

Not even remotely worth it in my mind.

Ask Montreal to throw in their pick and maybe a B prospect.

Done.

 

[PaperDesigner]

The ask is rumoured to be Hall + Nurse + 4th overall.

Not even remotely worth it in my mind.

Actually, that's tempting. But I think you would have to get the 9th pick back, even if it means adding another asset.

 

[duul]

Hall + Nurse + 4OA for Subban + 9OA is a hard but fair trade to make. You need to think the 9OA pick you take as a defenceman could turn into something special. A player like Chychrun of possibly one of Sergachev/Juolevi could be there still. Acquiring those two for Hall, Nurse, Tkachuk seems worth it in my eyes.

 

[Paralyzer]

The ask is rumoured to be Hall + Nurse + 4th overall.

Not even remotely worth it in my mind.

I'd rather keep Nurse TBH. Hall and the 4th I can part with as long as the 9th Overall was added. Hall + Reinhart + 4th I'd do. I wanna see a Subban-Nurse tandem. That'd be an amazing tough pairing.

I appreciate the rumours anyway, keep them coming!
