P.K. Subban Trade Watch

[CarltonTheBear]

I think every 6 months Georges Laraque pretends to know something about the Habs when he really knows nothing at all.

But in the extremely, extremely rare event that that is true, the Oilers would be absolutely insane for not taking that deal the moment it was offered to them.

I don't think it makes sense from the Habs side. The value might be there, but they are pretty thin on the blue line as it is.

He claims his source is on the Oilers side, but yeah.. take it and run if they could get that deal done.

That is the clearest sign to me that it's not true.

Someone around the Oilers organization just confirmed to me that the Canadiens asked for Draisaitl and the 4 pick for Subban!

? Georges Laraque (@GeorgesLaraque)

If that's the ask, I think the trade would be done already. Good deal for Edmonton.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Benning probably just read that and he's now desperately trying to acquire Draisaitl and the 4th overall pick.

If true, those would be principle pieces of a deal. I'd think there would other pieces (picks, prospects) involved too. Habs might want to shop him to other teams as well. This wouldn't be a deal to rush from the Habs perspective.

Has to be more than that or Edmonton is stupid not to make that deal.

Not that I think they should do anything along these lines, but if th Leafs wanted PK, and Montreal was willing to trade him here, who would it take. Marner?

Add Rielly and I think you're in the ballpark.

He wouldn't necessarily be going for picks and prospects.  Could be a hockey deal centred around JVR and Bozak.  Obviously other pieces would need to be in there, but Montreal needs offence, and those two could provide it.

Leafs 1st overall.  Rumours abound with potential big names moving (Hall, Subban).  Stamkos set to hit free agency. 

I've never been more excited for a draft and upcoming free agency than I am for the next 8 days.

I said this a long time ago and I'll say it again. Subban is overrated. Norris trophy he won I personally think was questionable. Solely won it on his offence and a lot of it coming on the power play. His defensive game is suspect and always has been. Highest paid D man in league at 9 million dollar salary cap hit and can't crack team Canada. Enough said.

Then pass.

If Montreal traded Subban for a package revolving around JVR and Bozak there's a fair to decent chance their fans would burn Montreal to ash.

So I'm all for it.

I get what your saying.  I'm just not so sure that the gap between the player that JVR is and the player that Subban is as great as it would seem.  Subban has a huge cap hit, seems to lose his mind on the ice sometimes, and can be a it of a distraction for his team.  Also with players like Subban, there is rarely the value in the deal that people think should be there to make it fair.

It really would depend on what Montreal wants to do going forward.  Are they going to go younger?  Or are they going to try and enhance what they have?

 

[Tigger]

Subban at 9 for Leaf treasure? Yeah, pass.

 

[Peter D.]

The Subban contract is a perfect example of bridging a guy having gone wrong.

 

[Zee]

Bobby Mac says he doesn't think Subban is getting traded.  Good enough for me.

The NHL is looking at a complain of tampering after what #canucks Jim Benning said yesterday regarding Steven Stamkos and PK Subban.

 

[L K]

I'm struggling to see how his comments on Lucic aren't tampering either.  Ron Wilson got fined for tampering when he made a statement saying something along the lines of it being likely that the Leafs would want to talk to the Sedins on the 30th right before free agency.
