Thread: Rumoured Subban ask in 2016
For everyone wondering that's been widely investigated and most of the noise coming out of that was;
The deal was a done deal for both parties before the draft started but with "*" aside of it, Edmonton was targeting Puljujärvi whereas Montreal wanted to pick PLD with the 4th overall pick in that draft but when Columbus f*cked **** up and picked PLD the deal was then canceled from both side of the table as Puljs (Which was a concensus 3rd overall pick) fell to EDM and PLD was gone for Montreal.
Please remember that Chiarelli was the GM at that time so yes it's possible that he agreed to this, Drai was a great prospect and Klefbom was having a "meh" injury riddled season but still a top 4 prospect.

BONUS STUFF: For those who like those kind of rumours it seems like Philadelphia offered a 1st round pick, Samuel Morin and Sean Couturier for Subban. Don't know what or who pulled the plug but whatever, it's out there.
