Breaking: PK Subban on trade block after dressing room conflict

pk subban trade rumors

When star defenseman PK Subban was a member of the Montreal Canadiens, rumors ran rampant that he was going to be traded because of dressing room conflict with his teammate, Max Pacioretty. The players both denied the conflict, but shortly after Subban was traded to the Nashville Predators in return for Shea Weber.

It looks like Subban may once again be on the trade block. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman disclosed recently that Subban was almost traded for Matt Duchene, when the Colorado Avalanche were shopping him:

I do believe that two years ago when Colorado was trying to trade Matt Duchene to Nashville and Nashville was trying to get him, I do believe Subban was part of that deal for awhile. I think Colorado asked for all of those D, but I think Subban was a name that they considered. But that was two years ago.

Chris Nichols of FanRag Sports Network reveals:

I think he wears out his welcome with guys. I think he get (under) people's skin in the room. I think his value is huge around the league because he is that talented. Any chance they would consider making that sort of move.

Subban is signed until the 2021-22 season to a $9 M cap hit contract. He doesn't have a no-movement clause, and can be traded at any time. Comment below where you think he might be traded.
