I know it's not an easy sale, PK for Weber,
PK is very popular, very entertaining, but if you look only at the hockey player, not that bad a deal for Mtl. Honestly PK didn't play like a 9M dman last year. far from it.

every single hockey analyst over the past 18 months has pointed to a marked deterioration in Weber's play. many people thought he had no business being named to Team Canada. Montreal just traded a great defenceman in his prime for a great defenceman on the decline. it is a horrible, horrible trade made by a general manager who over 4 years has proven that he doesn't know what the (frank) he's doing. he will destroy this entire organization by the time he's done.

Yeah...I'm just trying to be a little positive.
For the next year or two it's probably a wash. But unfortunately Webber has 10 years left on his contract.

thanks, flyers !!!

The old sign and trade....
- hscesq

They *were* saying it was a possibility. (sign and trade)
Thing is MB better make one hell of a trade for something amazing, and soon, or there will be blood in the streets

Now strip the C off him and give it to Weber.

I am completely dumbfounded. They got an older player at the savings of 1.2 million that put up less points on a more offensively gifted team. I don't see the upside in this at all.

WTF?

Can't believe they could not throw DD in on the deal.

Just shows you how useless he really is

Shea Weber ages 31-40 in exchange for PK. Subban ages 27-31

Gonna be a long season when you #1 gets boo'ed every time he touches the puck.

No. MT won.

we can now put to bed the theory or the possibility that Michel Therrien could or would ever be fired by Marc Bergevin.

he is but he is getting worse. Josi and Jones were both better.
- muffin_man

Weber is very solid but not as a primary generator.

Subban is a spark. He makes things happen.

So while skill might not be that big a difference, Subban filled a need that Weber won't.

it is, at face value, the stupidest trade i have ever seen this team make. David Poike must be laughing his balls off.

Weber on the decline is still better than PK in his prime. Less spectacular I agree, but much better.
And he doesn't create trouble in the room.

No he's not. And he's a playoff underperformer

Habs are an embarrassment, honestly. Why in the world would you make this trade. Somehow Therrien is still a Montreal Canadiens but Subban is not. This team is going nowhere and fast. Back a dead beat coach over your star player. Just like the Roy days.
