Am I the only one that is 1000% against the idea of trading Couts for Subban? We didn't trade Couts for the best dman in the league last offseason why trade him for Subban???
Homer please dont do anything stupid.

To be fair, none of us know exactly what Poile was demanding for Weber. It was probably significantly more than just Couts.

With Mez out, PHI should offer sheet Subban; 7years x 5.5-6M per

Overpaid but we need a puck moving D that can shoot and trading Couts is out of the question.

If you dont give up Couturier for Weber, you certainly dont give him up for Subban.
- Hatchet

The deal was Couturier and Schenn+. You don't give up both+.

What skates did you go with?
- Stinkfitz

Easton Synergy EQ50's.. love them.. but still havent broken them in completely. Light as hell, and ive already taken a few pucks off the feet.. no problems so far.

He would make this team better... but im not trading Couts/Schenn's. Voracek would have to be the centerpiece, because of his salary.

speaking of gear: if anyone's interested, i've got 3 sets of leg pads i'd like to get rid of for virtually nothing. louisvilles (old)-but very good shape), itechs (worn twice, about 3 years old), and vaughn (about 5 years old - decent condition).

PM me if you want more info, pics.

- hammarby31

I think we have three of everything at this point.

Yes. I'd give them Schenn or Jake + pick, I would not let them touch Couturier.

So some guy on twitter says Couts for PK straight up one for one not enough from Montreal's standpoint.

Getting redunkulous now.

- Marc D

If Couturier straight up isn't enough, I'd either take him off the table and look at a different package, or just put down the phone.

Not that I am for it, but its not like we would be getting garbage back...

Put it this way... Subbans first year in the league he put up 1 more goal and 11 more points... as a d-man.

He isnt scraps. He is a legitimate force on the blue line.. and is only 23.

I don't understand why everyone is so protective of Couturier. Yes, he's a good young player but who know what he develops into or if this is it.

Agreed. I don't want them to trade for Subban because Montreal will want the moon. I think Subban is good but not really proven yet. Fix the D in the offseason but to me Cooter is an untouchable.

Not willing to trade Couturier for Subban. But willing to trade any other player on the team besides Giroux

I just got the Vapor 4.0's from hockey giant in cherry hill. kid was trying to talk me into the 7.0 saying G wears them. I rubbed my beer gut and told him im a washed up C league defensemen who should probably be getting the 1.0's.

But i have to say they are nice.

I saw him at that charity game in AC during the lockout. It wasn't an NHL performance by any means, but he stood as as a particularly slick player. I'd love to get him.

Not only that, but like I just said, Subban is one of the top young d-men in the game today.

I started with Synergys and stayed with them.. These are a step up, but I got them from hockeymonkey for a about a third of the actual price.. couldnt be happier.

Gotta give value to get value. Unless you're dealing with CBJ, then anything can happen.

We have 6 pairs of skates. My son's been playing for 5 years and we given/sold at least three. Thankfully he's been a 12 for the last two years.

How's this.

I'd swallow hard and make that deal (provided the + is a 2nd round or lower pick).
