John Shannon on Hockey Central today says he expects the #Preds to explore trading P.K. Subban this offseason.
Rights to Ceci + for Subban no salary retained
I liked the idea of Karl for Subban when those rumours were quietly floated out there, but that was contingent on us trying to make as close as possible to a lateral move to keep the team (Stone, Duchene, etc) together.
If we trade for Subban right now, it'll be a desperation move because this team got cold feet over rebuilding and the negative effect it must be having on ticket sales.
It also won't help us one bit. He has 3 years left on his deal and is not enough to get us back into playoff contention. He'll come here, help us win just enough games to not draft high, and then we'll sell him for pennies on the dollar two years from now when he the last year of his deal.
If the cost was Ceci + and that + was not a blue chip asset, sure. I only say that because I think we could get that back when we flip 2 years from now. I think the cost will be much higher than that though.
