So David Poile offered Shea Weber straight up for Subvan and Bergevin was all like
I wouldn't quite say it's the same.
PK is like the most well liked guy on the team, does a lot of charitable work, loved the city of Montreal and playing in it. He was definitely a superstar on the team and among one of the best players in the league but he's not "THE" superstar of the league.

Fucking Stamkos.
Yeah, that pretty much sums it up nicely.
Edit: True, he's not Lebron calibre - but definitely superstar got traded for someone who is on the decline. One for one. It makes no sense.
Actually thats a better way to say it. He isn't the face of the league, but def to his own team.
Management just didn't like a player who was good off-ice, charitable, (but black).

Its like trading lebron for someone thats slightly older and is more on the down-sloap while Subban was right in his prime. In terms of talent the other guy is less offensive oriented, but hes not a "showoff". God forbid you celebrate a goal.
Yes, let hope Price stays healthy for his sake.

Subban isn't the best player in the league or anything, so not quite like trading LeBron, but he is an all-star-level player. Maybe it's sort of like trading Russell Westbrook for Chris Paul, straight up?
Ha, I was going to go with Westbrook too, but was searching for who Weber is the analog for. Like, imagine if Harden was 30.
Anyhow, here are some numbers.

This Trade is Basically Almost Prime Lebron James for a aging Kobe.
That Nashville Defence Line.
Roman Josi and Subban
Jesus Christ. That's basically Kyrie Irving and Lebron

Has to make you wonder if there was some off-ice reason. You don't just trade your franchise d-man for a regressing and aging Weber straight up.

Montrealers gonna' riot?
Yup, that's the impression I got. Their personality conflicts are well known, and the coach convinced management that PK was a problem. They failed to realize that it's the coach who is the problem.
you really shouldn't.

But he speaks french therefore hes over-qualified.
fleeced?
I was going to say that but it's just not strong enough. They got a lot more than fleeced.
This fucking day...
Hall traded to the Bermuda Triangle Devils
Stamcock is dead
Subban traded to Nashville because he has no respek and doesn't play the white way
Don't let Benning see this post

Let's not forget that he was the best friend of your franchise player.

They have to pay his signing bonus before he even puts on the jersey, haha.
Edit: I guess Nashville has to pay PK's, but PK's bonus is just $2M.

WHAT

Is you look at the analytics he has fallen off a cliff the last couple years defensively. PK is still on the rise and he generates way more offense with his playmaking. Weber still has the point shot but his puck possession game pales in comparison. Then consider Weber is already on a serious decline and you have to pay him for I think 9 more seasons till he is 39. If he doesn't make a huge comeback Montreal is fucked.

No way is Price re-signing. The core is fucked. FML.
Might have to rethink my initial reaction. Didn't realize this. Need to do some more reading it seems.

Unless they make a big splash on a UFA they're fucked either way. They just took out a huge offensive piece of a team that already has huge problems scoring.

He's really good at like two things (slapshots being one of them) and mediocre at everything else.

Its the worst day for Canada's hockey teams losing Subban, Hall and Stamkos.
I was with you, my initial reaction was more positive with Weber, then a buddy started showing me all the stats and it really paints a different picture.

This is why Canada will never have The Stanley Cup in Canada ever again...
Leafs weren't too set on stamkos due to the knowledge of how screwed we are cap wise
Detroit and Buffalo fans, on the other hand...
