He's realistic though, not delusional. He ain't ever going to be a Pantheon player in Montreal when the team is that fucking shit, he's not going to be young forever dude. Toronto, I could see, given they are good now and will be even better in the future, but Habs Pantheon isn't in the cards, and PK knows he can't have his cake and eat it too on that one. Nashville is definitely near the top of his list, even if Toronto is higher, don't be silly, he does not want out desperately, as you seem to think. Nashville being in the boonies is vastly outweighed by how good they will be for the next few years.

If PK brought the Cup to Montreal, he's in the Pantheon, he'd be the uppity black man in the Hockey Heavens, for eternity, he'd be the LeBron James of hockey, Nashville Schmashville, nobody cares about Nashville in the center of the hockey universe, nobody feels this more than PK, that's what I loves about PK.

I would take PK on the Leafs, in a heartbeat, just not at $9 million, I like PK, but he's way overpaid, he's the black Dion Phaneuf.

He ain't going to single handedly win the Cup in Montreal, he needs help, and he isn't going to get it any time soon, and he's not getting any younger. Most importantly he isn't oblivious to that and so Montreal is out.

As for black Dion Phaneuf, at least PK is top 10 NHL defensemen, Phaneuf never was, not even close, so it's a big upgrade, despite being overpaid, PK at $7 million would be perfect, if he was getting paid Phaneuf money on the Leafs because you traded Nashville and got them to pay a little of that salary, you should jump on that, screw money ball at that point.

Nah, I'd rather have Weber, the Leafs have guys who can skate, shoot, and run around, we've got rushing defenceman coming out of our ears, the Leafs need a Big Nasty more than they need a slightly better Jake Gardiner.

Subban is better defensively than the Big Nasty at this point, stop living in the past maan. It's not 2014 anymore. PK is better everywhere, the only reason to want Weber more is being cheaper if Montreal retains half his salary, but if they cost the same, you should want PK all day.

Much rather pay $9 million a year for Subban than $7.85 million a year for Weber, that's for damn sure. PK Subban is a great defensive defensemen who scores at the rate of a top end offensive defensemen, he's not a slightly better Jake Gardiner, you are living in the past. Hell PK Subban is borderline top 5 at the position, is his contract sexy, hell no, but quit hating on his talent because you'd rather he be cheaper, hot damn.

PK's not that good defensively, he's not Scott Neidermayer and he's not Chris Pronger neither, he's not even Kris Letang, he's more like Mike Green or Dion Phaneuf, he's got the big shot, he can skate, but he's not actually an elite possession player at all. You can get a PK anytime, a Big Nasty or a Big Z, that's a much rarer bird.

Boston is better than Nashville, Winnipeg is better than Nashville, Chara/Byfuglien > Subban.

PK Subban is much better defensively than Kris Letang, you're high. He may not be Pronger or Niedermayer, but so what not many defensemen are these days. He is good defensively, really good, and as much as I love Big Z, lets be real PK is better defensively, by a lot, maybe down the line Big Z will be better, but that day is not today. Big Z contract is way sexier, and he hits like a fucking runaway train, but like that's about it.

PK's not fit to eat the peanuts out of Tanger's shit, Tanger is the real deal, PK is a Fake Norris affirmative action hire.

You think Pitt would trade Tanger for the PK Subban circus? Not a chance, Crosby wouldn't have PK on the team, no way, no how, Crosby is with Babsariello.

Bullshit, you have't watched PK in years, talking out of your ass. PK Subban is so much better defensively than Letang, it's hilarious you would suggest otherwise. That has simply not been true ever since PK got traded, now PK is one the best defensive defensemen in hockey, not even just defensemen in general, Letang ain't even close to the best in his own end. Crosby would rather have PK if his contract had the same cap hit as Letang, or at least he would realize that if that ever came to pass.

Talk about riverboat gambling that's more Letang than Subban at this point, and we all know how much you shit on these kind of defensemen when you think PK Subban still fits that bill.
