Draisaitl and the 4th straight up for Subban is still not enough, and you're the first person I've seen suggest the thought . A genuine #1 defenseman like Subban is very hard to find and goes a big way, far harder to find than the player Drai could amount to. Plus Draisaitl has played good for approximately 0.5 seasons. Mind you he killed it in that time, but he is still unproven in my eyes. No GM in the league would make that trade. It's a laughable offer, and a classic lowball attempt. You're overvaluing Drai a lot.
You're probably right that I'm over valuing Drai given that he's only played 1 1/2 seasons, and yes, he was only really good for 30 or 40 games. I just don't think that Subban is so good that he's worth a 3rd and 4th overall, especially given the level of prospect Drai is and the 4th is expected to be. And Subban is coming off his worst season too, so his value is probably at its lowest right now.
So you don't watch Subban is what you're saying. Roger.
I am based out west, so no I don't see him play that often. However, I'm pretty sure any objective observer would say that 2015-16 was his worst season statistically since probably his 2nd full season. And it sure doesn't help that he couldn't crack the world cup roster. Make no mistake, I'd love PK on my team. I just wouldn't trade, oh say, Taylor Hall straight up. PK doesn't have that kind of value in my opinion.
If you base your opinion entirely on goal scoring you could make that argument. But Subban's play in other areas is far improved this season. He's a more well-rounded defenseman than ever. This was at the very least his second best season ever IMO.
As for not trading Hall, I see lots of people saying the Oilers would need to give up Hall + the 4th + Nurse to match Subban's value, so don't read too much.
That one I think would hurt both teams though and I don't believe it's fair. I just don't think Montreal and Edmonton would be able to reach a mutually beneficial trade here, so I think these rumours are almost certainly going to turn out fruitless. The only way this could work is if Montreal used a Subban trade with Edmonton to facilitate another trade to add more pieces, and I just don't think it's going to happen. Subban is far too valuable to Montreal right now. Him and Price (and if his development continues down the path, maybe Galchenyuk can enter into it too) are the saving grace of this team.
