Wth would Montreal make that deal

 

 

Because they can't score

 

Subban for Weber. The worst trade in the history of the NHL? The worst trade in the history of sports? The worst trade in the history of trade?

 

The only thing that could make this trade worse is if the Habs asked for Seabrook but he or the Hawks refused. This isn't a knock on Seabrook, but if you can get a much better, younger player straight up you pretty much have to make that deal.

Hall for Larsson is easily worse

 

Not even close.

No, I agree with Sneaky. And there's been some reporting that other teams had no idea Hall was available and are actually pissed at Edmonton because they would have happily offered far more than Adam Larsson.

 

The Subban trade isn't great for Montreal, but they're still getting back a stud d-man. Yes, he's older. But Therrien apparently had issues with PK and they couldn't let him run the entire ship.

Which trade was worse is up for debate I guess, but Dude took a very fast Montreal team and is tying to turn them into the St Louis Blues. He's kinda dumb

I think Subban/Weber is worse. Hall for Larsson can at least be rationalized as trading a winger for a defenseman. It's a horrible, horrible deal. But it does balance Edmonton a little better and there's some chance Larsson breaks out soon (I don't expect that, as I said it's a horrible deal).

 

But in trading Subban, Montreal traded a top 5 defenseman in the world for maybe the 20th-30th best defenseman in the world. Weber is also 4 years older and signed until forever (2026). He's clearly in decline at this point. That contract could be a disaster in a few years. I don't see any possible logic aside from wanting to move Subban for "character" issues.

It doesn't even save them very much money (I think I saw $1.5 mil)
