PredsFanTheBayouState 263 Report post Posted June 30, 2016 Feel bad for you, Weber is the definition of what (most) people would want from a defenseman, even if he is a bit aging still an unbelievable player most teams would LOVE to have. Yeah it's amazing Nashville has an unbelievable eye for defensive talent and how to develop them. Wonder if Josi is going to be the next captain because Fisher won't play for much longer. I'm just glad that Weber didn get traded to a division rival like Chicago.don't like Montreal,but Weber can still be my favorite non-pred player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since you seem to be a Predators fan posting on a Red Wings forum, what's your take on Subban on your team replacing Weber?

Fully understandable; I'm not even a Predsfan and Weber was a guy I always wanted on the Wings. Montreal with the addition of Weber, Shaw got a lot tougher to play against that's for sure add to that a healthy Price and they'll be back in the playoff race. Also I'm sure I'm in the minority here but I don't your top pairing is going to be Josi - Subban, I think Laviolette might prefer a more balanced top 4 pairing Josi - Ellis and Subban - Ekholm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you haven't watched Subban play much, you are in for a treat. He's usually regarded a top 5 defenseman in the league. By no means a bad trade for you, over a few years rather quite the opposite.

Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted June 30, 2016 Nashville wins. Weber's best days are already behind him, more or less. Subban is younger and, frankly, better. Poile has basically undone the Seth Jones trade -- only, he gets to keep Ryan Johansen. And that, my friends, is how you GM. 2 marcaractac and 13dangledangle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poile has basically undone the Seth Jones trade -- only, he gets to keep Ryan Johansen. And that, my friends, is how you GM. He got the best years out of Weber's Philly offer sheet contract, and have now replaced him with someone younger and better suited to how the game is played today. Preds fans got a lot to look forward to. Weber is gonna be counted on to play even more minutes in Montreal, meaning possession against the Habs will increase. Stay out of the box vs the Habs to avoid him running the pp and you're set. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted June 30, 2016 Stay out of the box vs the Habs to avoid him running the pp and you're set. TBH, I'm not super-crazy about the implications for our boys in red and white. Feels like Weber's had our number for quite a while now and feels like we've generally been able to neutralize Subban. Granted, we have a longer and more intimate history with Weber. He knows us well. I think you're right about the Habs' overall possession game, though. I mean, in theory, you absolutely are. They're a bad possession team with a possession monster in Subban, because Michele Therrien is a dinosaur. Weber's never really had strong underlying numbers. Do the math...

The great thing is Subban's going to sell the s*** out of NHL hockey to the people of Nashville and in the States. I think it's a match made in heaven. They're going to adore him there. He's going to become what he deserves to be, which is one of The Names in pro sports. For anyone who doesn't like Subban... P.K. Subban donating $10 million to Montreal's Children's Hospital P.K. Subban lights up Chris Neil P.K. Subban crushes Brad Marchand P.K. Subban...destroys I mean, c'mon. 1 Wheelchairsuperhero reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
