He isn't half the player he was even a couple of years ago, he's a mediocre third-pairing player. He shoots right-handed. That's about the only thing of value he brings to the table. Granted, there isn't a bumper crop of right-shot UFA d-men out there (Subban joins Klingberg and Stralman as basically the only options) but I don't think some people realize just how bad Subban has been lately. If they find a way to add a right-shot d-man, I think it'll be on the trade front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the point, yes. You don’t add PK to help the team win right now. You add him as a warm body who can take minutes and provide a buffer for your young guys. That said, maybe between Wideman and (gulp) Madison Bowey we have enough of a buffer for Barron? I doubt it myself, but maybe. Another factor - frankly - is leadership. PK is a seasoned veteran who knows Montreal and loves playing here. Not a bad guy to have around on a short-term deal during a rebuild IMHO.

Neech Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I love PK, but I'm skeptical of whether he'd be the best guy to mentor the young D and create a winning culture. Seems like a bit of a boat-rocker and more focused on his media career at this point. Apparently he doesn't get along with Gallagher, and probably others in the organization. Strikes me as a little risky for such a low reward acquisition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
