One would think but not always. Remember Roy?

BTW Kev... I'm not trying to be a split personality here but rather pointing out a silver lining whilst also saying it's not always a sure thing windfall. It should be but Murphy and his (frank)ing law always seems to sneak in now and again.

Gonna go out on a limb and say he was being sarcastic. When has the team trading away the best player ever won a deal?

I had a few.

Edit: As much as I'd hate to see him go, I don't mind trading him if it's the best option, provided we get a good return. Honestly though, the Habs record in block buster trades is, well you know...

So Franson and a 3rd?

In all seriousness, if it's going to happen they need to trade him for players with the potential to be as good, or close to as good as him who just haven't proved/done it yet at the NHL level. You aren't going to come close to winning a trade that has already established players coming back.

Very true that's why it sucks when you have to trade a high end caliber player.

Which team would you ideally want to trade with?

I'd say someone who can give a good D prospect back.

Maybe something like

Subban
Gallagher
2nd


Jones
Forsberg
1st

Or

Eberle
Nurse
1st


I'm partial to RW because I think it's a big hole on the team. Not sure about the eberle deal, might have to add another pick.


Edit: Trouble is when they trade him too, I'd assume a decent return would mean the other team had talked to him and was confident they could get a long term contract done

I just realized how adamant I seem on trading one black d-man for another.

@TSNBobMcKenzie: A settlement between PK Subban and MTL is imminent. New deal coming.

Does he mean arbitrator ruling or new deal?!?!

I wasn't ever worried about the amount, I was just adamant in signing him.
