Subban with 21 points in 34 games....pretty impressive for a 20-year rookie playing on a goal-starved team like the Comets....as a fourth-rounder you'd have to say he's exceeded expectations so far....if his name wasn't 'Subban' I expect we'd be more thrilled with his development....only question mark is an ugly -8 on the plus-minus, but obviously Green has confidence in him to play in all situations.

I agree.

His defensive game seems to suggest it needs work...but, at the very least, we have seen he has been able to transition his actual assets to the AHL level, and at a pretty early point in his pro career.

It would be foolhardy to suggest he has a bright NHL future; but he's a 4th rounder who, at the very least, if he keeps progressing at the rate he has, seems likely to get a shot at the NHL level.

Zalewski strips former Sabre and Canuck Marc Andre Gragnani and scores his second of the night in OT.....future fixture as a fourth line centre in VanCity?

Subban really putting up numbers now. There is hope he is the pp guy we are missing and Pedan is the presence we are missing. Combined with Hutton Tanev Edler and this years first pick might have something in two years

He's coming along really well.

His offensive game has adjusted pretty well, just need to improve his defensive game and he'd be golden.

Might need to have 1 more season in the AHL after this one.

Thrilled to see how well Subban is producing from the blueline in his rookie year. Now if only Green would replace Fedun with Subban on the first unit. Fedun hasn't been bad, it's just Subban is even better in that role.

Gillis's picks/signings seem to be coming together finally. Whether it be on the big club or developing in other leagues.

How is Subban handling the physical play? and does he separated from the puck easily?

Skill and speed sure doesn't look like a problem for him.
