Subban to Predators for Weber

Time to see the "Selling the Subban PC" threads

This trade was totally out of left field. Wow. Crazy day ! Habs should have kept Subban.

From what I have read this happened to appease the coach.

I know why the Pens fired Theirren (how ever you spell it). Same thing happened here. Sid and Geno got sick of him and quit playing for him. I always blamed the players and always liked Theirren. I was way wrong.

Weber has a cap hit for 10 more YEARS! Wow this might actually be worse than the Hall trade.

I'm shocked. Love Weber, but it hurts losing Subban. Would have thought if Habs were ever to trade Subban, it would be for the true superstar #1 Center they've always been looking for. I really hope that this trade was not a result of Subban and Therrien. If so, does that mean they chose Therrien over Subban? I truely hope not.

Not from this cowboy.

If this is true, then man does this ever stink. I feel bad for the Habs fans on these boards. Ugh.

Montreal just got an older defenseman then what they had, a solid player and leader but one that has "10-years" left on his deal and traded-away their only "super-star" skater in the process - all to appease a coach that anyone can see the players don't like and a GM who wants to be the only star in the province of Quebec.

If I were a Habs fan, the only thing more painful than this trade, is that you are going to have to listen to that GM speak Frenglish in all of the upcoming press conferences. More painful then the days of having to listen to Esa Tikanen speak what players described as "Tikanese".

For all the Subban haters (and I'm not a fan of the guy one way or the other), here's betting that the guy still honors his pledge and dedication to the children's hospital. That is the kind of player/man that Montreal just booted out their door.

If I lived in Montreal I'd be getting out the pitchforks and torches and heading down to the Bell Centre.

PK just posted on his Facebook page that he fully intends to honour that pledge. Very well said, he is a great hockey player and an even better human being.

Thanks to the Habs, Edmonton made the 2nd worst trade of the day.
