You're welcome.

For what it's worth, I would have said it even if the trade didn't go down, just like I keep saying Subban also belongs in that category.
- Scabeh

Big if true.

So was it a fair trade?

Just wait til McDavid club photos surface and he flips him for bozak, jvr and andrew neilsen.

What about goal scored? Don't those matter anymore?

5v5 G60

Ekblad 0.42
Weber 0.17

nope nope nope.

I don't want to be jealous of the leafs.

I must say, it was a great trade that acquired Seguin for the Bruins.

And a terrible one that gave him away.

I'm glad we don't get to face him anymore.
- Scabeh

The Kessel trade was (frank)ing dumb luck just like Rask.

Just wait til McDavid club photos surface and he flips him for Craig Smith, James Neal, and Trevor Murphy.
- Feds91Stammer

Such a trade will hinge on Murphy's Corsi.

Ekblad 0.42
Subban 0.17

Subban scored 3 (frank)ing goals last year.

I expect him to do alot better this year.

Oh come on.

P.S. Can we keep the insults to a minimum everyone? I thought this conversation was going smoothly until now.
- Scabeh

Replace Letang with Weber and I do not think the Pens win the cup. Honest opinion.

Good times for Boston.

(frank) that was supposed to be Weber

Good times for Boston.
- Scabeh

Yeah...those were the days. At least Subban is gone. Not like Weber is going to be a walk in the park to play against.

Weber scored something like 15 goals on the powerplay. I don't care when he scores, I just like that he scores.

Clearly something the Habs missed from Subban last year because he makes that huge wind up and misses the net.

Always hated that about him. He has such a good shot too...

Are you sure? Apparently his corsi says he is worse than a #7 defenseman.

Love how you keep trying to bring Mact into it. He has nothing to do with it. Chia is a moron.

And he goes to a team that was 25th in the league PP wise last season with lesser weapons and pooptier coaches.

I disagree, Weber is still one of the best out there and belongs in the Elite category.

But it's all been said before, we'll talk more about it during the season!
- Scabeh

Last year, Shea Weber had his:

Lowest minute totals in 6 years, lowest shot rate since 2008, fewest PIMS ever, fewest EV strength goals since 2008, Most PP goals ever, fewest takeaways since 2009 and fewest giveaways sine 2009.

His hits and blocked shot rates stayed about the same.

So he played less, shot the puck less, acquired the puck less, HAD the puck less, but blocked shots and hit people at about the same rate.

What does that tell you?

3rd pair AHL D man at best obviously.

It’ll really be a good trade when he gets Nolan Patrick out of it too
- Tumbleweed

You guys are gonna be in on him. Not us.

- BINGO!

Elite hitter and shot blocker obviously. Stud D man. Beast. Dominant. Canadian great.

He's Jonathan Ericsson? Cool.

Wait you're talking about Weber?

He's going to improve the powerplay for the Habs, I think that's a given.

Oh and having Kirk Muller back to handle the unit will help as well.

Yep and now he doesn't have a Josi on the other side of the blue line.

Both are elite D... as a Hab fan, I'm quite happy with the deal, I believe Weber makes them better and gives them a better chance to contend this year and for 4 more years after. They have 2 glaring holes to fill still before they can be part of the elite bunch, this off season as a whole was definitely a step in the right direction in my books

burke let chia off the hook if this story is at all true:
