It saddens me so much that this didn't happen. If i were GM i would of gladly made this trade and just to help EDM out, I would of taken any 1 contract off their team in addition just to help with the cap a bit. Whether it be Fayne, Pouliot, etc.

Both teams would be better off today if it happened but no, our GM's felt their decisions were better. I guess they are more knowledgeable then I am but man oh man this would of helped both teams out tremendously.

I don't know. The forward unit would have taken a huge hit. Subban would obviously be great but the cost might be just too much.

Not true whatsoever. Puljujarvi wasn't even part of the team last year so the forward unit would be only losing Draisaitl. Now add in the fact that EDM now keeps Hall, their top scorer the past 5 years i think, and add Subban who is one of the best dmen in the league instead of a decent top 4 in Larsson. I think this is a no brainer. Also as i said, I would be willing to even take a crappy contract off your hands in order to make it work for you.

Just in case other teams fans don't realize. MTL fans did not want Subban to go at all. We realize how good he was and how much of an impact player he is. It is the ignorant management that decided to trade him. I would of traded anyone other Price in order to help fix this team. Trading Subban showed how backwards minded this management is. Still in the "old days" mentality.

Subban should not have been traded for weber. But I wouldn't give up those two player Leon and Jesse for PK. Mostly because of his contract. Just because you have mcdavid doesn't mean you should trade your other stars for a D. Larsson was a fine add but it should have been Eberle going the other way. Any how it's done now and I'm glad charelli is in EDM so there's at least a chance mcdavid also gets traded to the leafs for a shitty return.

Well we'll never know now but knowing how good Subban is on a Habs fan level, he would of made EDM scary good for years to come.

Edmonton has had defensive issues for awhile now. It is too bad they did not trade Eberle & yak away and keep hall. Edmonton has had similar draft positions as both Florida and Columbus over the last 6-8 years, but look at the success of Florida now, with drafted and developed talent like barkov, trochek, bjugstad, & ekblad. Edmonton and Columbus have both mismanaged their personnel & contracts miserably.

And who would play D in Montreal? The offence would be great, but look at the defence. There would be Petry and Pateryn on the right side.

And Edmonton could have a real Cap problem 2018, depending on the next McDavid contract.
