It's super weird seeing Subban in that jersey. Even if he were to play another 10 years for Nashville, I would still think him in a Preds jersey is hella weird.

 

Nasvhille are going to win the cup sometime in the next 10 years. Forsberg, Johansen, Neal, Subban, Wilson, Josi, Rinne's got a few more years left in him. Those are some big names. And they've acquired the first 4 via trades. 

 

Gotta flashback to the Nords/Lanche of the 90's. All that top young talent they turned into other talented pieces. Of course the Lindros deal was their clincher. Wound up with 2 Cups.

 

Have these Preds chosen a similar route?

Funny thing - for all the over-reactions and assumptions that the Habs got taken in this deal, some pretty good hockey minds put together this blueline for the Canadian Olympic team two short years ago.

 

 

Duncan Keith—Shea Weber

Marc-Edouard Vlasic—Drew Doughty

Jay Bouwmeester—Alex Pietrangelo

Dan Hamhuis

 

Notable absence of PK Subban.  Gotta wonder why.  Clearly not only the Habs don't consider him the best in the game.

I like Subban and Weber but i think Weber is a great fit in Montreal. He will bring a calming influence on the d-line as well as a perfect mentor to Sergachev. Price knows him pretty good as gold as well.

I agree.  You'd think Weber were chopped liver if you listened to the majority of noise around this trade.  Price is probably the happiest Hab, knowing he's going to have that mean presence in front of him.   The Habs still have that right handed cannon on the point of their powerplay.   There seems to be a fashionable devaluation of virtually all aspects of defending aside from carrying the puck - but I'm not in the chorus that thinks Nashville rekt Montreal in this deal.

Yeah Weber with Shaw also makes the Habs a whole lot grittier and tougher to play against as well.

Montreal Canadiens analytics specialist Matt Pfeffer was fired because he made a impassioned and elaborate presentation to the team on why they should not trade PK Subban.

This looks like a kid who's never played real hockey in his life.

And I bet you that the keyboard is pretty sticky on that laptop. 

He's deadly cute though.  He looks like he's 10.  That was their expert, seriously?  :lol:. Aren't there child labour laws in Quebec?

Agreed,

Nashville has Josi, why did they need Subban? Weber is better for both teams. Montreal completely robbed Nashville.

Weber, top pairing in the Olympics.

Subban, almost didn't make the team.

PK Subban feels that stay-at-home defenceman limit themselves.

 

"If you call yourself a "stay-at-home" defenseman, you limit yourself."

Well, when one plays as erratically as Subban does in his own end, that would be a conclusion.

That's ironic -  'cause PK's the one that "stays at home" while Weber wins championships with Team Canada.

 

So yeah, maybe PK should stop limiting himself and develop a more complete game like the guy he was traded for - who, ironically, has been so under-rated across the board following this trade.

Obviously team Canada's management just don't understand the analyticzzzz.   Weber on the top pairing with Vlasic?   What was that dumbass Canadian coaching/management staff thinking?

Anyone who calls Shea Weber a stay at home defensemen is pretty out of touch with reality. I would say he is easily the best all round defensemen of our generation. He scores, he hurts people, and he plays at an elite level on either side of the ice.
