Not sure if serious.

Can't be.

Everyone knows Weber sucks now and shouldn't even have been considered on Team Canada, let alone being on the first pairing.

Our problem has always been looking to other teams for their groomed talent. Would be nice for once to just draft and develop....our own? We've waited this long without winning, where's the rush....
- DamnBrasKiss


it's all about draft and develop, but if a good deal is there and will help the team for the next 7 years, I'd like to think Shanny and Lamoriello would consider it.

also, nice to see you buddy, hope your summer is going well!

Why the love for Trouba?? Completely undeserved, from what I've seen. Are people just in love with his potential?

The guy who called him Luke Schenn is bang on. I wouldn't trade much for him, that's for sure. Let Winnipeg overpay him

Other than Reilly, do you really think there is a Leaf defenceman that would be remotely close to fair value for Trouba ?
- bennythehat


NO they don't. But that is the whole purpose of trading for Trouba. If the leafs had another defensemen that was remotely close to fair value for Trouba, we wouldn't be having this conversation about trying to find a partner for Reilly.

he's very young and does have quite a bit of talent.

Babcock would help fix any issues quite quickly I'd imagine.

Look around the league at most of the #2 dmen and some #1's. Most were mid round draft picks whof were given proper time to develop. Keith weber giradano klingberg muzzin josi stralman buff kronwall to name a few. Not all top pairing dmen have to be top 10 picks. Give the kids some time to develop.
- HealthyScratch6


Agreed. Leafs need to continue to focus on drafting and player development.

Well they're both in the top 5-10 best young defensemen in the game.

I prefer Rielly but Trouba is very close in my book.

Apparently there was a group chat with Cabbie, Kardinal Offishall, PK Subban, DSP, and "random guys - I never met any of the other guys."

DSP had a "good feeling" PK would be traded...

"Me being there and seeing how your best player gets treated sometimes, it's like: why?"

DSP admits mgmt would've had to know because PK missed practice.

"For mgmt not to be there is kind of maybe everything you need to know."

Devante Smith-Pelly was also on Cabbie's podcast and spoke about PK Subban.

Said it felt really, really old school at times in Montreal.

I don't like the trade. It's probably not a good one for the Habs in the long run.

But I also like having Weber on my team. The guy is a beast.

Based on the recapture that NSH is on the hook for. I think the trade is just fine for MTL.

Rielly is better atm and has more of an opportunity to grow. However, Trouba had the toughest zone starts on the Jets and the least PP opportunities and still produced well.

If they could get him, the Leafs would be set.
