The debacle made absolutely no sense then and makes even less sense now. The league GM's are ALL looking to get younger, cheaper and much much faster so why would any GM trade a stealth slick fast skating dman to get an overpaid, aging, slow moving no points guy with a long overbearing contract (until hes 40) in return?  This "trade" wasn't made by either of the teams GM's.  This scandal was orchestrated by gary and a few of the owners to help Nashville.  A long worthless contract like Weber's could've bankrupted the Preds.  All is fine now.  Great work by the commissioner

Yeahhhh, definitely sketchy. Bergevin saying 6 days before the trade, he wouldn't trade Subban. 

Some shady poop happens at HQ for sure.

Subban gets 3 points tonight and Weber is on the par 3.  Ahhhh to be blind and gullible as nhl fans.  The Hawks have an aging overpaid group. Maybe they should call the Oilers and see if theyre willing to trade Mcdavid for Brian Campbell.  Afterall hes only 38

Who knows if it's shady or not, but as soon as your name gets out in the context of "we're not trading him", "we're not firing him", "he's still our coach"...you best be packing your bags.  Deny, deny, deny, until you've actually pulled the trigger.  Happens everytime.

Reminds me of the whole John Scott fiasco. I'm assuming there are some next level revenue reports which triggers the commish to make a quick phone call and change everything lol.

That John Scott debacle actually shows you who runs the league and what kind of people they are.  Right now im looking into the Leafs last game vs the Jackets and their inability to get 1 point against a team that shouldn't of even laced their skates.  I just don't believe it.

Lol yes. As a Sens fan living in Ottawa, I was shocked they blew that lead and couldn't muster a point. Was looking forward to the battle of ontario, but instead the Leafs got thrown to the wolves. Unfair.

when it happened I though the trade was a "win-win" for BOTH teams and probably STILL is. BOTH helped their teams this season. one good playoff game for PK Subban does NOT make Shea Weber a "mutt"

Yeah this is true! I think the weird thing is, you dont really see a "like for like" trade. Like you rarely see a D-man for D-man. or a winger for a winger.

Both were assets to their team, just random lol. Oh well!
