Do people aside from Craig Button really use WJC as a true measuring stick of anyone?
Dougie didn't play very well in the WJC either. And plenty of medicore players have made big names for themselves by playing a handful of good games in a junior tournament.
So I don't give a crap about WJC performance.
With that said, I would do the trade & hope it doesn't come back to bite in 5 years.
Would I trade Malcolm for Corey Perry?
A goalie who didn't play very well at the World Juniors......for a 27-year old former MVP winner in the NHL who can potentially score 50 goals every year?
Let me think about that for a second...........
See ya, Malcolm. Every day and twice on Sunday.
Ya, but would you have traded Blaine Lacher for Eric Lindros?
No, but i checked the thread here and i watched some few highlights. He performed badly. You guys are beginning to convince me that trading subban might be the right move. I said i was team's first guy so if i'm not willing to trade subban, i look like a hypocrite.
I'm okay with trading Subban now if it makes the Bruins better.
Ha Ha. A Superstar. Kidding a side, Tuukka is bringing too worry me a bit. He gives up soft goals either top shelve, 5 hole. He just seems to give up a key goal when you need him the most to stop the puck. I don't want to turn this into a Rask- Subban debate, but they is no way im giving Tuukka anything more than a 5 mil contract. If he leads us to a stanley cup or to the ECF then yes he deserves a big pay day but until the no.
Furthermore, WTH are wiggy and co saying we deep in the goalie department. No we don't. After Dobby, we are very thin. Svedberg, Hutchinson etc haven't proven nothing yet.
I would trade him for far inferior players.
this. malcom for iginla....probably not . malcom for perry absolutelyWould I trade Malcolm for Corey Perry?

according to joe haggerty (take it for what its worth) subban is the player that is being brought up most by other teams in trade negotiations, I personally would trade him for any player that can help the team this year. goalie is the position the bruins are deepest at, not just svedberg, rask and khudobin, but also lars volden is playing well overseas and zane gothberg looks very talented at UND. while subban holds high upside, he is a few years away yet.
I take the situation like this. Blake wheeler and mark stuart have by leaps and bounds out performed rich peverley and boris valabik since that trade in 2011. but would i take it back knowing that now? absolutely not. yes i think wheeler would help out big time right now, but that cup wouldnt have been won in 2011 without trading him away for pevs in my opinion. So in 4 years when/if subban turns into a stud goalie, will I be upset if ryan clowe or jarome iginla or milan hejduk aren't worth subbans value anymore? not if the b's hoist lord stanley in 2013 i won't. And i don't think the b's have a great chance to win in the playoffs without shaking up the lineup a little bit
