Thread: NSH trade part twoyear two
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>All things being equal, you don't trade a #1 defenseman for a #2 center. Subban is three years younger, and since 2011 he's played 70+ games in four more seasons than Malkin. When healthy, Malkin gets more points, but Subban played the fewest offensive zone starts of the top ten defensemen in points last year. He's a factor in all zones of every game.

If you add together all the pieces you're trading away: Malkin, Maatta, Sprong, and a 1st, I think you could get Nashville to part with P.K. Subban. And then you could certainly sign a UFA to play 2C next summer.

If you just really need a good defenseman to weather the injury to Schultz, there are other guys out there. Don't panic. But I think Subban pretty much retires in Nashville.</div></div>

I agree with you that the trade isn’t perfect but I think we can all agree that there’s probably 5 or less teams that Malkin is the #2 center
