News Article: Tire Kicking Subban

[thewave]

1m retained, sure. Cost... Z and AJ

Kadri + Zaitsev + Marleau for Subban

It's called a hockey deal, sweety.

Kadri + Zaitsev + Marleau for Subban

It's called a hockey deal, sweety.

I'd rather pay Marner 11 million than trade him to take on Subban's 9 million contract........ (and I REALLY don't want to pay Marner 11 million)

EDIT: Sorry for quote. I misread the statement...

 

[ToneDog]

Hes not the player he was, BUT hes a top #3/2 rhd who can move the puck. Something this team lacks completely.

If they could get him for something like Kapanen+ and the Preds retain a bit of salary, than sure go for it

It would work if Z also goes back the other way and they retain 25-50%.

 

[Buds17]

Plenty of tire kicking going on, no doubt. Obviously fills a need as a RHD, but we'll see if the rest of the elements for a deal are there.

 

[LeafSteel]

No.

Where are we trading Marner in that deal?

 

[BM14]

Sick Kids could use a large donation.

Maybe check this...SickKids receives $100M donation — the largest single gift in the hospital’s history

 

[TmlHockeyFan]

Where are we trading Marner in that deal?

Sorry, lack of sleep and long shift at work.... I probably read Marleau as Marner

 

[BertCorbeau]

Depends on the deal, but seems like an awful player to target.

Very much so this.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Very much so this.

See it depends. If we pay a premium I would be pissed. But if they really just want to move him and he's going for cheap.. I am okay trading Zaitsev + Kapenen to upgrade Z into Subban (retained to 7.5 AAV).

Mackenzie says Nashville may be willing to eat 3 mil. If so by all means , PK has his flaws but at 6 mil....

That's insane if they would. I can't see them retaining that much.

 

[BM14]

That's insane if they would. I can't see them retaining that much.

It would also exponentially increase their demand on the return.

 

[Pinto]

Mackenzie says Nashville may be willing to eat 3 mil. If so by all means , PK has his flaws but at 6 mil....

If they are retaining 3 million I can’t see them taking much salary back. I thought the whole point was to clear cap to re-sign Josi?

 

[TmlHockeyFan]

It would also exponentially increase their demand on the return.

Not denying that.. but eating 3 mil per year as dead cap space...

Preds are moving him to open up cap space. Not to fill it with 9m worth of Zaitsev + Kapenen.

Drama queen Subban can take a hike.

 

[IPS]

3 million eh?

I sincerely doubt this.

 

[Nineteen67]

I wouldn't mind getting him at the right price.... wouldn't want to put our team in a difficult cap situation though!


That being said.. I HIGHLY doubt we are going to get him. These "insiders" are just looking for attention and creating things to sound newsworthy to bring the buzz.

How do you know the insiders are just looking for attention?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

He's not worth his contract and will probably only get worse.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

How is he a headcase?

This character stigma against players of colour is ridiculous.

The guy gave 9M to a hospital in Montreal. That's probably going to be more than 10% of his career earnings.

Seems like a great character guy who just shows personality unlike 90% of this league.

What reports out there show that he's a headcase? I'd love to know.

lol, "this stigma"? Name all these players of colour that people have issues with? Guess what? Automatically assuming race is the issue is racist. Congrats.

He's such a big headcase that after choosing Pacioretty over Subban, Montreal had to later trade their captain Pacioretty!

 

[garce]

I sincerely doubt this.

Bob Mac said it on TSN so take it for what it’s worth.

 

[garce]

Picks?

 

[The CyNick]

If we're adding even $6M in salary from Subban, it means at least an equal amount of money has to go out. So maybe it's something like Kadri and AJ or Kap. Or Nylander.

But in either scenario, we would still need to move out more money to sign marner.
