According to Bob McKenzie - Stamkos will stay in Tampa on a reported 8 year $8.5 million per contract.
The Oilers traded Taylor Hall to the New Jersey Devils for Defenceman Adam Larsson.
Montreal Canadiens trade P.K Subban to the Nashville Predators for Shea Weber.
Stamkos staying in Tampa makes sense, and on the surface Larsson for Hall looks like a good deal to me, but Weber for Subban is nuts IMO. Poile just traded one of the top 3 defencemen in the league for P.K.Subban ? I know a lot of people think that Subban is entertaining and I'm sure Canadiens fans probably aren't too happy, but Subban is a defensive liabilty. Yeah, he can score, but he can also lose you games. Weber on the other hand is a shut down defensemen, who scores goals with his killer shot, is a respected leader, very smart with the puck and has been top notch in the playoffs. Am I the only one who thinks Nashville made a big mistake here ?
