I was so wrong when I was upset about the Subban-Weber trade. So wrong.
I have Subban on instagram. He looks like to enjoying the good life with lindsey vonn. On boat, the beach, bath time. Nice for him. I just cant understand how a guy can make 10 videos a day. Im not in the locker room, but subban looks like to play for his own conpany instead to play for the club. He is maybe the only player i saw with a cap from him, instead a habs cap. I rather like to have weber since day 1. Even if subban gave us good hockey. Hes declining right now.

Yeah. You tell a lot of things about FAN. Yeah right. He is an entertaining guy. Absolutely. But, not sure he was really like in the locker room. Is it normal that no one player for montreal were at his ceremony when he gaves millions to an hospital? No.PK Subban likes to enjoy life. Yup, absolutely.
You know what else? He also craves attention. More specifically, public attention.
As a fan of hockey who likes to be entertained, I love that about him. Always full class act too - so many athletes you hear all kind of stories about them for the wrong reasons, never him.
PK Subban's saving grace is that despite all of this - when he was with the Habs, he played harder than anybody. You know how Gallagher is full effort? Subban did that 110%. So any of his teammates who take issue with him, I feel are just insecure crybabies. Get upset if he doesn't try hard enough, which was never an issue.
He clearly had a horrible season. Just one - the season prior was full of injuries, by the time playoffs came around he was Nashville's best player. We'll see if he rebounds - I expect he will. He's only 2 years from being a Norris finalist, he's still young.
I hated the trade. Worst trade in Montreal Candien's history in my opinion. And I say that as one of the posters who probably thought the most of Weber at time of trade. Weber is a fine player, that was never the issue. Picking Michel Therrien over PK was the issue. Ignoring PK's connection with fans and community, and lying to fans about it, was a horrible problem. Just complete piss poor management.
I do think PK > Weber as a player too, but this was always a bit closer.
Since this thread is about Weber - I obviously like and appreciate him a lot as a Hab. He's been awesome in the playoffs so far. He's the type of defender who can age very well, a bit like Chara.
Yes. I was in the very small minority who thought we'd end up winning that trade early on (I wrote a MASSIVE post in defense of it), but I still agree with this. We may have won the trade, but holy hell do I love Subban and miss his charisma. I'm excited to see what he's doing now with his shows and such, and I'm rooting for him to bounce back in his career.I find the Subban talk a bit cringeworthy. He is clearly setting himself up for a post hockey career in a fairly brilliant way. Not sure he deserves all the shit talk for being happy and planning for the next 50 years.
Habs won the trade which is great but pissing on him is as silly as the guys that had Weber as a second pair dman., washed up etc.
Pretty sure this version of Weber is what we get for the next 3 years. Nice to see the "decline" BS go away. Remember folks, He has never been a good skater and the strength to his game is hockey IQ, playing physical, leadership, and that booming shot from the point. That's not going to change overnight
Weber don't get emotional so I think he buys his time to lay the punishment
Jersey fans are offering Subban around the league at 50% retained. Would hell freeze over and he ne back in Montreal? Allows us to trade Petry for big haul? Weber maybe can straighten out Subban's attitude? Lots of connecting dots there.Yes.

He actually is a great skater, has no trouble keeping up with the play and at full stride has good speed. Is incredibly strong on his skates .
He doesn’t have a real quick first step because of his size - no one that big does. And he likes to get the puck to a forward with speed which is the best way to control possession. This idea - not yours - but this idea that was real popular here, was that a PMD had to take the puck up ice. I’ve always maintained that “puck moving” can also mean a 5’ pass to an open player with speed.
We are one of the best puck possession teams in the league with him playing top pair so I think that validates my argument that a quick sharp first pass is as effective as the long stretch pass or the dman that carries the puck up ice.

It probably wouldn't work unfortunately. Not just because the optics of Bergevin reacquiring him would seem bad, but we just have a glut of defense on the right side as things are, already.Jersey fans are offering Subban around the league at 50% retained.

The people who insult him are not worth your time. I love PK and always will. I think Weber is the better player but will always wish the best for PK.Yup I am with you. I also believed Weber was the better player, and I pushed back hard on the PK fan boys that were losing their minds and slagging Weber.
But I don’t get bashing PK now, kicking a guy when he is down.
