So NJ has added P.K. Subban and Jack Hughes in last 13 hours or so. That’s productivity.

HE'S OURS OH MY GOODNESS P.K. SUBBAN IS A NEW JERSEY DEVIL!!!! (via @VinnieParise) https://t.co/suymzwQLPW

The Devils traded Adam Larsson, Steve Santini, Jeremy Davis, and two second-round picks for Taylor Hall and P.K. Subban.

The right side of the Devils's defense now features P.K. Subban, Sami Vatanen and Damon Severson. That's not too shabby.

I've always said that Predators should consider trading P.K. Subban only if the return or resulting cap space makes them demonstrably better today. Even if they sign Matt Duchene with the savings, are they better? I'm not sure.

Based on the return, Subban deal looks like a glorified salary dump on Preds’ end. I think a few weeks from now we may call the trade “P.K. Subban for Matt Duchene,” essentially.

The @PredsNHL made the right move trading Subban. We need that money to buy some offense and keep the defense that is working. Best of luck, P.K.! #Preds

As always, attempts to pin P.K. Subban's personality as the reason for a team's woes says more about the accuser & nothing about Subban. He's talented, honest & confident, and every community he's been a part of is better for it. Having him in NYC area is a blessing for the NHL.

No way they traded P.K. Subban to the Devils. Wow... That’s big.

#NJDevils 2018 offseason:

So the Devils traded Larsson, Santini, Davies, and 2 2nds for TAYLOR HALL AND P.K. SUBBAN

— Tyler Horsfall (@TheFlopFish) June 22, 2019

Ray Shero brought Taylor Hall and P.K. Subban to New Jersey for what amounts to a few dudes and a couple draft picks.

— Adam Gretz (@AGretz) June 22, 2019

Wow! PK is a great player. I’m surprised he was traded. Good luck PK. You will do well wherever you go and they are lucky to have you.

— Kathy Chase (@KathLBC) June 22, 2019

WOAH THIS IS HUGE

— skyler weisberg (@skyguy61) June 22, 2019

Wow. Highway robbery.

— James Seo (@james_seo03) June 22, 2019

Fleeced Hahaha Nashville

— Keenan (@BoXy_19) June 22, 2019

I guess the Devils are buying him cheap? PK is coming off not the greatest of seasons

— BankerG (@BankerG2) June 22, 2019

Obviously this clears the way for Nashville to presumably make an offer to UFA star centre Matt Duchene. The UFA speaking period opens Sunday
