Right.

Like. What the fuck is Nashville thinking. Holy shit.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

PK sounds less than thrilled about the trade from some of the quotes out there. i'm sure he'll back track once it sinks in but...still.

Alright I'm leaving. Nothing happen till I get home.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Holy shit Subban for Weber? I havent been following closely, has this been rumored for awhile? I didnt know either were being shopped.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Right?

Subban is flashy, and that can skew a little bit as to what makes a good defenseman. They will miss Weber's steadiness next year.

Although, having Josi helps. He will definitely be the ying to Subban's yang.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Subban has been rumored this offseason. But Weber? I don't think anyone could've predicted that.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Stammer!!! Very happy about this, 8th year and a modest price all things considered. It'll be interesting to see if this ripples into a Bishop trade now or if they wait until the deadline.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That has to be the thinking, that Subban can perhaps provide some flash that Weber couldn't, while Josi remains the steady horse back there covering for PK's pinch-oriented style.

But still, I don't like it at all. Weber is perhaps the best all around defenseman on the planet. He's certainly one of maybe 3 you could consider. Pk Subban isn't one of the other two. I just don't know how you make that deal. Good for Montreal. That's a whale of a deal for them.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Stammer resigns. 8 years $68 mil.

Glad he is staying put.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

And to be fair to NAS, that may be exactly what they're looking for in a market that is growing, but could use an injection of flash.

Mike Johnson saying NAS wins trade because Subban is 4 years younger than Weber. lol. It's not like Weber is 40 or something like that. He's 30. Tons of good years. I think he's more expensive, but he also brings more skills to the table than Subban ever did. Well worth the price.

Very few can play the physical game that Weber can, while still being very mobile in all 3 zones and excellent offensively.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Currently writing a note of apology to Nick Kypreos.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Bishop is there until at least the deadline. No one needs a goalie.

The Subban deal I just don't know if they improve THAT much. Traded a fan favorite there. It better work.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Nash should have let the Flyers signed Weber away

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yea, matching the Flyers offer looking dumber and dumber now.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Pretty cool that Steve Yzerman held his ground, and now he's got both Steven Stamkos and a much-improved Drouin on his roster for next year. Kudos to him.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

What the shit is going on

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Nothing. Why?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Toews isn't the only one thinking this right now...

Jonathan Toews ‏@JonathanToews
Hey Webs good luck in Montreal thanks for leaving our division! #relief

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wait, you are all getting on the case of Nashville instead of Montreal?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

It was a good trade where neither team got fleeced, but MTL definitely got the better player.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

They got Weber for 4 years and now get Subban. Had they not matched that franchise would have died. Suter and Weber both leave in the same summer...

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Lol

Of course we are. They traded Weber for pk Subban. That is dumb.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Why couldn't Edm have traded Hall for one of the good d men today?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

This is the only place I've seen that thinks Montreal won that trade.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I guess you know where to come for smart hockey talk then

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I would take Shea Weber over PK every single freakin' day of the week.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Right. How anyone wouldn't is beyond me. Like, it's not even remotely close.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Well that all escalated quickly

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I walked into a 45 minute meeting, then checked what happened in the NHL. Hall traded. Subban traded. Stamkos staying in TB.

This is what I felt like checking NHL offseason news after my meeting - http://i.imgur.com/cMWalaa.gif

Re: The NHL Thread
 

This sounds weird but I want the Wings to do nothing big on Friday. Maybe try and re-sign Helm and make a move for a top defenseman and other than that let the kids play. None of the players out there are worth what they are gonna get. None.

The cap recapture for weber is insane if he retires early
