Kypreos: PK Subban traded to Nashville for Shea Weber

[McGarnagle]

Good lord. It's pretty clear Bergevin/ownership wanted subban gone, but that's pretty massive.

 

[Kin]

That'll certainly teach PK to have a personality.

That'll certainly teach PK to have a personality.

He signed his own trade deal when he donated that money to the Children's Hospital and then spent a lot of time doing charity events with them.

Am I the only one who thinks Weber is quite overrated?

No, I tend to agree with you. This trade makes you really question what the hell is going on in Montreal. If I was a Habs fan, I would be livid.

This is the kind of trade the Flyers used to make back in the day. In fact, Weber's contract is courtesy of the Flyers' offer sheet which thank God, he didn't accept.

Yeah but for his own publicity!!! #PKTruther #MaybehedidBenghazitoo

I don't think he is. He's pretty dominate. He'll have trouble living up to his value or the full term of his deal though.

 

[McGarnagle]

I don't think Weber is overrated at all. But he's not going to look as good at the end of that contract than PK will.

Didn't Nashville take a boat load of highly regarded dmen at the draft too?

Yup.

Also 1 for 1 apparently, no salary retained.

 

[TBLeafer]

LOL Habs!  I used to have respect for Bergevin...

 

[bustaheims]

I have one meeting scheduled today, and that's when everything decides to happen!?!?

Also, LOL Montreal.

 

[rdowdall]

All this trade is missing is for Max Pacioretty to come out and start crying to the media "That's my powerplay quaterback..."

 

[KW Sluggo]

Bergevin is whistling past the graveyard now.

Weber is 3 years older than Subban and at age 30, that is when the decline often starts.

Chiarelli wins this trade because without it, he would be roasted on a spit and justifiably so.

the only thing i can figure is that montreal really feels like they're going to win the cup in the next two years...and then this wouldn't really matter

Yeah, Subban obviously wasn't being made available for a forward.

I am surprised at how lopsided most seem to think this is.  Weber has declined THAT much?  Or is this all projection based on age.

He's not good at defense, not even in the way offensive defensemen can be good at defense.
