[evil solrac v3.0]

can someone explain it in Baseball terms? did they trade a Mike Trout or Bryce Harper level player for an older guy?

 

[excelsiorlef]

...that's in the declining part of his career and signed until 2026.

He literally just had a 20 goal season as a defensemen

His second highest of his career total btw

Third highest career point total of his career too.

...that's in the declining part of his career and signed until 2026.

dude is a vet, has the hardest shot in the nhl currently, makes smarts decisions and plays and is one hell of a leader in the locker room. I think Montreal will be fine

 

[Wereroku]

Let the Canadian tanking continue its great to see all American Stanley Cup games.

Spoiler

this team is a joke.

 

[Future Foundation]

Oh no the Habs got a 20 goal scoring defenseman that is all of 3 or so years older than PK.

Who's also got four/five years and 300+ games on Subban, as well as 10 more years on his contract at almost $8 million per.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Oh no the Habs got a 20 goal scoring defenseman that is all of 3 or so years older than PK.

And he's at the end of his Career. This will Become the Ryan McDonagh for Scott Gomez 2.0

Ridiculous.

 

[KodaRuss]

Ill say to be a black player in the NHL you have to have very thick skin. I hope this wasnt part of the reasons he was traded. Which is sad.

 

[PillarEN]

And he's at the end of his Career. This will Become the Ryan McDonagh for Scott Gomez 2.0

Ridiculous.

Wade Redden 2.0?

It won't but I'd have a giggle.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Which is either good or bad depending how he plays.

It's like trading Josh Donaldson for Victor Martinez.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

It's like trading Josh Donaldson for Victoria Martinez.

No, it's more like trading Jose Bautista for Mike Trout.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

Montreal club doesnt like him because he gives money to charity? That makes no sense

Surely there is something else behind this

 

[bishoptl]

No, it's more like trading Jose Bautista for Mike Trout.

Hahaha no

Man, the Canadiens organization is run by a pack of lemurs.

 

[PROh1bited]

I'm sorry Creeper. Today has been a weird day in hockey.

 

[LyleLanley]

Can someone explain this to me in video game or anime terms?

Yeah he's not white. There's some really interesting videos of Canadians flying
confederate flags. They may be more advanced socially but they still have a bunch of dick heads as well.

It's when you want senpai to notice you, but you end up eating someone else's poop but you don't actually love that person, and senpai still doesn't notice you.

 

[Dr.Acula]

There's about to be a conference call on TSN for Subban. Listen in if you can.

Wow, they're dumping all "non-Nashville" media because the Preds couldn't figure out how to get rid of feedback from all the NHL media who were trying to get in. LOL.

Small market problems.

 

[LyleLanley]

It's when you want senpai to notice you, but you end up eating someone else's poop but you don't actually love that person, and senpai still doesn't notice you.

Wow, Montreal really fucked up.

 

[MrPhiliasfrog]

This is simply disgusting.

I cannot believe Bergevin traded our best Defensemen/player.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Hahaha no

Man, the Canadiens organization is run by a pack of lemurs.

I'm in Distress Bish. I don't know the value of Baseball Stars.

*sigh*

 

[Mechanized]

Going from just what I've seen on my Facebook over the years, isn't Subban like the best player Montreal has ever had in the last decade?

 

[Cmerrill]

Hahaha no

Man, the Canadiens organization is run by a pack of lemurs.

It wasnt Carey Price, whom without they don't make the playoffs.

It was Subban, who is a good defense. They received an equally talented player for in scoring ability and a proven leader.

 

[Cmerrill]

This is simply disgusting.

I cannot believe Bergevin traded our best Defensemen/player.

They traded Price too?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Going from just what I've seen on my Facebook over the years, isn't Subban like the best player Montreal has ever had in the last decade?

He was our best defenceman since Larry Robinson. He was a pretty big deal.

It's like trading your copy of Super Mario Galaxy, for Super Mario Sunshine.

In NHL2K16 imagine trading PK Subban for Shea Weber.

 

[darscot]

In NHL2K16 imagine trading PK Subban for Shea Weber.

This was funny and even funnier that you used 2K.

 

[NetMapel]

We still got the press conference happening in a bit. This is going to be fantastic hahaha

 

[diaspora]

In NHL2K16 imagine trading PK Subban for Shea Weber.

???

 

[Filth]

In NHL2K16 imagine trading PK Subban for Shea Weber.

10/10. Fucking epic post haha

 

[dankir]

Fucking liar.....

 

[PillarEN]

Trading Bayonetta (PK) for God of War

Trading K-On! (PK) for School Days

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Fucking liar.....

I know Right?

 

[Dr.Acula]

Obama addressing parliament live on CBC, so hard to choose what to listen to.

Going with Barry.

 

[MrPhiliasfrog]

They traded Price too?

Carey Price isn't a player, he's a god.

 

[[KoRp]Jazzman]

It was Subban, who is a good defense. They received an equally talented player for in scoring ability and a proven leader.

Subban is better Offensively, Defensively, Faster/More Agile, Younger and Cheaper...

So they made the trade for "Leadership" ability which is subjective at best, and complete BS in reality when it comes to wins/losses.

Weber is 30 years old and under contract for 10 more years at 7.8/year...

This is one of the worst trades in all of sports.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Can the Rangers trade Rick Nash for Steven Stamkos?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Subban was asked flat out if he felt unwanted in Montreal. Said he felt wanted by fans and community, and that Habs paid him a lot of money.

I guess that means that Management hated him.

 

[vatstep]

AHSHAHAGAHA

 

[PillarEN]

Can the Rangers trade Rick Nash for Steven Stamkos?

Luongo for Bishop perhaps would be on a similar level.

 

[Cmerrill]

When is this press conference? Anyone have a link?

 

[NetMapel]

Definitely sounded like Habs management don't like Subban.

 

[dankir]

PK is holding a just for laughs gala this weekend too, should be interesting.

 

[darscot]

I guess that means that Management hated him.

Well what else could he say, they just traded him, I would not read much into that comment at this time.

 

[MrPhiliasfrog]

I guess that means that Management hated him.

That's also my guess.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

Yeah he's not white. There's some really interesting videos of Canadians flying
confederate flags. They may be more advanced socially but they still have a bunch of dick heads as well.

Then why did they make him the best payed d-man in the league?

 

[dankir]

Yeah its totally because he didn't get along with management and the other players.

I'm believing the exact opposite of what Bergevin says.

 

[LyleLanley]

In NHL2K16 imagine trading PK Subban for Shea Weber.

Can you explain this to me in NHL 15 terms?

 

[OriginofHysteria]

can someone explain it in Baseball terms? did they trade a Mike Trout or Bryce Harper level player for an older guy?

Mike Trout got traded for Alex Rodriguez.
