Exactly, Subban as well. Seth Jones has been dealt
You make a list of probably 10 top pairing D traded in the past 5-7 years
Legit top pairing D (like far superior than what the Oilers currently have?). Who?
Ok, Hamilton, Jones, Trouba, Karlsson and Subban as mentioned above.
Hamilton struggled in Calgary relative to what he is now, that's why he was available and there was apparently some off the ice issues going back to Boston.
Jones was dealt when he was well down the depth chart in Nashville and Johansen was very highly regarded at the time.
Subban was dealt for a #1 Dman and as a salary dump the 2nd time.
Trouba only wanted to play in New York and I'm convinced that he's all that good.
Karlsson was damaged goods, aging and a pending UFA.
