  The PK Subban trade remains one of the most discussed topics amongst Habs fans. While the Habs did enjoy a few years of Shea Weber, ultimately many can argue that the Habs may have been better off watching Subban develop into their own elite defenseman. In an attempt to honor his time in Montreal, the Canadiens will honour PK Subban prior to the game against the Nashville Predators tonight.
• How about that for an Ottawa Senators ownership group?/

I mean, there is no way Henrik Lundqvist would be involved in any team other than the New York Rangers, but I’d settle for a Reynolds/Skarsgård duo.
