Chris Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Ok your crazy. He may be the best habs prospect in the last 15 years and you want to move him? Offenseive Dmen who can skate and play D are incredibly hard to find, he'll be on the habs blue line for the next 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCPetit Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) Call me crazy, but I believe Subban is worth a lottery pick or maybe a front line player and a prospect. I would be awfully tempted if the right offer come up. Trade for a lottery pick when you already have won the lottery? Doesn't make much sense to me.

BlueKross Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Trade for a lottery pick when you already have won the lottery? Doesn't make much sense to me. I expected that reaction. I would say that when Price won the Calder we believed we won the lottery. That hasn't quite worked out as expected. Besides I didn't say I would do it, I did say it would come into my thinking. It may be the only way we can end up with top end forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This general attitude from Montreal fans is exactly why lottery picks will do us no good. The only prospects that ever turn into really key players in Montreal (in this era) are lower picks that overachieve. Compare the success of Gui, Price, Komisarek, Higgins, Chipchura, Hossa, Ribeiro, Perezhogin, Andrei Kostitsyn (who were hyped to the stars) to the success of Subban, Plekanec, Halak, D'Agostini, Lapierre, Sergei Kostitsyn, Pyatt, White, Markov, Streit, Souray and others relative to their draft position. Being a fan favourite early in your career is a huge no-no in Montreal (although Subban seems to be overdeveloping thus far). Our key players have been our surprises.

Lammy Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Subban seems to be overdeveloping thus far Now, there is a term I have never heard applied before in regards to a prospect player. He's overdeveloping! I love it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForumGhost Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I'm kind of afraid that when he comes to the NHL, people will see that he's actually mortal. Stupid, I know, but that's Montreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overdeveloping/overachievingv- he's doing better than he was expected to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habitforming Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Overdeveloping/overachievingv- he's doing better than he was expected to do. According to who? At the very best the draft is an educated guess. If you asked PK (and I have) he would have told you that he is exactly where he is supposed to be.

If you asked PK (and I have) he would have told you that he is exactly where he is supposed to be. According to the analysts that analyzed his game when he was a Junior and the many, many scouts and general managers that passed over him in the first round. What Subban thinks is totally irrelevant. Higgins thinks he can be a 40-40 player. No one else does. And again - I said that he did better than we (basically everybody) expected, not better than he expected. He was a 2nd rounder, now he's looking like a 1st round calibre prospect. That = doing better than expected. Better than we could have hoped.

ForumGhost Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) Subban actually made TSN's top plays of the week at #4. Go check it out... It's sick. Edited March 9, 2010 by ForumGhost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHabnut Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Subban actually made TSN's top plays of the week at #4. Go check it out... It's sick. That was an amazing play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) The Subban to Wyman goal, for those of us who can't access TSN. Or maybe it was this one, with Subban pulling off "the Forsberg" Edited March 10, 2010 by Fanpuck33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy Ryder Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 In another time line, Subban replaced Spacek suffering from continuous major brain farts and is currently a Calder candidate. The habs clinched their spot for playoffs yesterday and Q government reduced taxes of 2%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saskhab Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=326991 The last time we hear "Subban" and "AHL" in the same current news item, I'm sure. Well, until his younger brother Malcolm turns pro, that is. Subban wins the AHL's President's Award for outstanding accomplishments in the 2009-10 season.
