The best there ever was..

Weber is a plugger?

Listen, I don't like the deal a lot, but Come on, Weber doesn't suck.
- Pecafan Fan

This is accurate

Well, how else do you explain that trade?
- deadpoulet

Pk had to demand a trade after poop hit the fan before the draft. It just makes no sense at all

Older on a worse contract. We can debate about who is better as of now. Anyway, the trade is done. Let's see if Bergevin can do something about that top 6 upfront.
- deadpoulet

now that is a very good point.
I think he's not done.

Last 3 Regular Seasons:
Subban- 232 GPs, 164 PTS, 301 Giveaways
Weber-235 GPs, 152 PTS, 142 Giveaways

Bet he was crying himself to sleep every night, laying in piles of cash (and pimp clothes)
- Pecafan Fan

because rappers usually do this and most rappers are black and Subban is black

in case anyone was wondering about the underlying logic

the cap

They save 1millions short term. So I don't know about that one. But thanks.

PK also carries the puck a lot more... so that was gonna be obvious.

and don't tell me NASH were a powerhouse offensively like PIT or TB...

On another note, a good deal for both MTL and NSH. Subban has some insulating players in NSH dressing room, MTL gets an actual captain.

@AndrewBerkshire @TSN_Sports Told you last week MTL was serious about trading P.K. You didn't seem to believe it. TSN agenda, you said?

Subban- 27 yrs old and under contract until 34 @ 9M.
Weber- 30 and under contract until 41 @ 8M.

Sweet deal.

So they can sign Vanek and Perron....

Weber plays more minutes yet have less than half the giveaways of Subban. But, but he is such a (frank)ing possession beast!!!

Sweet deal.

By the time weber's contract becomes an issue the heavily front loaded contract will become an asset to poorer teams.

Weber is still playing more minutes? Are you sure?

Well. Might as well go annoy the Sens, Oilers and Nucks fans.

Here is the bottom line, from my perspective.

If the Habs were on the cusp of greatness, a stacked team that was about to be dominant for 2-3-4 years with a high chance of winning the cup, then this trade makes sense.

But they are not... and not even close. Even picking up Stamkos would not have done that for the Habs. And in 3-4 years, the Weber contract is going to be a huge albatross for this team, especially if/when he retires and the cap recoup will be an utter disaster.

but MB and MT don't give a (frank), cause they will be long gone by then.

Don't think you're fully understanding how his cap hit is going to work. But keep thinking that.

they are better today than they were a week ago.
Weber + Shaw >>> PK + Eller
