Taylor Hall PK Subban Kyle Palmieri for Adam Larsson Steve Santini Jeremy Davies and draft picks (no firsts) lmao
I’m fine with it tbh. The return could have been more obviously, but no salary retention is key. Now they can sign Duchene, extend Josi, restock the farm and the defense will be fine. If you toss Duchene in as part of this deal, then it looks absolutely fine.
I forgot they had Fabbro there. I guess they're banking on him and Duchene to make up the loss. That and they must think Subban's on the decline with some of his recent injuries. I get it but man, that return is tough.
PK is coming off his worst season, one where Ekholm made him look infinitely better than he actually was imo, but yeah Fabbro is ready and looked legit. He’ll likely play alongside Josi too which will be fun.
I’ll never learn why teams constantly help cap strapped teams by trading for the eh players on that team.
Apparently it’s not a given we’ll buy him out. Report I read said the team wants to talk with him first. I wouldn’t hate the idea of a year of Marleau to lead the young guys we have.
