So its a good way through the season now... How is Shea comparing to Subban so far?
- Guile
I think it's fair to say Weber is excellent defensively, and he's good offensively (mostly due to his big shot). Subban is good defensively and excellent offensively.
It's a good thing the Habs signed Radulov because he brings the offense that Subban brought. Can you guys imagine what the offense would look like without Radulov?
It's not all that surprising that Plekanec, Pacioretty, Desharnais, Gallagher etc... are having trouble scoring goals when they don't play with players like Chucky or Radulov. I'm not saying Subban was the one making them score goals, but he definately helped the offense in the past. I'm sure you can all remember specific goals that all those players scored thanks to PK. Since 2013, Erik Karlsson is the only D with more assists than Subban.
Weber isn't really the type of D that will help his forwards score goals.
