Thread: Subban and Turris Moved Sign FA Forward
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>Has Turris really been that bad?
Also if that is the going price for Subban, I'll take him for Kapanen 1-for-1.
Honestly this^ is likely a better deal than you asked for lol.</div></div>

Turris had a career-worst year and his contract just started. He likely isn't going to be moved after one down year, but they need cap space to make room for FA forwards. Subban is on the chopping block for cap space as well and everyone knows it, so his value drops. I agree it is a very good deal for CAR. But cap flexibility in the future to sign Josi and then Saros and other FA's is worth taking a hit. Keep in mind, they got Subban for Weber who was also on an even worse contract. So, they don't lose a ton by dealing him away.

Thread: Subban and Turris Dealt With
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>I personally think Hertl is more valuable than Subban at this point.

People seem to forget that Subban is turning 30 this year. He's not a spring chicken anymore (In hockey sense that is). Couple that with a very down year overall, a 9M price tag......Why would anyone overpay or pay full value at this point?

Hertl is 25, signed to a very reasonable contract and putting up big numbers this year in the regular season and playoffs. If SJ loses out on Karlsson, there are plenty of other lesser but still good options available.</div></div>

Subban dealt with some injuries this year, but finished the last month of the season out in top form and was their best defensemen in the playoffs. I think his value dipped early on, but definitely went back up with their way he finished.
