i aint a fan of either teams but goddamn, i feel like i need a beer.

I guess we got a pretty good deal in the gudbranson trade. Larsson pretty comparable to him in a way right?

Subban traded for Shea Weber! :lawl:

The Montreal Canadiens have traded all-star defeceman P.K. Subban to the Nashville Predators in exchange for Shea Weber, according to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun.

Subban is heading into the third season of his eight-year, $72-million contract.

lol Canadian teams got bent over and fucked hard today

dafuq?!

:seriously:

Weber is a great defensman. He was the foundation of the Predators and will be a great addition to the Habs. But Subban is still has potential to be a breakout player the likes of Bobby Orr.

Now that is a crazy deal.

I guess Edmonton is still holding out hope that Larsson will become Hedman

Weber's play has deteriorated quite a bit now. He's easily their 3rd best dman now.

Yea Weber has slowed down a bit, but he is still a legit #1 dman and a way better all around defender except for offense than Subban. It is also clear that NHL coaches & GMs don't really trust Subban on the ice in defensive situations, ie... being the 7th dman on Olympic team rarely used, not being named to Canada's team this year and his use in defensive situations in Montreal. I've also heard a number of issues with him getting along with other players and its clear the Montreal front office and coaches got tired of his act. I think most fans overrate Subban because they like his personality.

Subban is younger and has a better contract for the team, but I would still personally take Weber over Subban.

Weber currently is a better overall player than Subban IMO. But he is also 3 years older and less dynamic.

I thought Subban was going to be a Hab for life. Stunning.

Overall, nobody can predict how this trade plays out until each player gets a couple seasons with their new team.

I think most of the issues are that he likes to be the center of attention, so his teammates were getting tired of it. Having him paired up with a guy like Ekholm will be awesome for the Preds.

Oh and Subban will never be even close to Bobby Orr :speechless:

So with Stamkos at 8.5aav.. Must mean Dimjim will probably toss 7.5 at Eriksson

So does this make the Gudbranson trade easier to swallow?

anthony stewart claiming subban was traded because he was black

I can't believe I'm saying this but it makes it look like Jim Dim actually knew what he was doing for once. :badpokerface:

Watch the Stamko's deal is a sign and trade to blow everyone out of the water lol

JB should have tried to slip our subban for shea weber. Maybe that's why he tried to get pk in the first place, pull a fast one on the preds. Or maybe he was trying to trade our weber for pk til bergevin read the fine print

Agreed. Not counting the eggs until they're hatched.
