A monster trade involving P.K. Subban was cancelled at the last minute and still has an impact on the CH today
Many Montreal Canadiens fans would love to see excellent center Pierre-Luc Dubois come to Montreal.
Well, you should know that it almost happened a few years ago at the draft table.
It's a story many already know, but on his most recent episode of the 32 Thoughts podcast, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman brought it all back.
So you can guess that it's started the buzz again.
What is it about here?
According to Friedman's information, in the 2016 NHL draft, the Montreal Canadiens and Vancouver Canucks had a monster trade in place, one that involved defenseman P.K. Subban.
Also according to Friedman, it was the fact that the Columbus Blue Jackets drafted Pierre-Luc Dubois with the third overall pick in 2016 that caused the trade to be completely scrapped.
Vancouver was drafting 5th overall that year. Was Bergevin going for the 5th pick to select Dubois? Possibly!
Finally, as you know, Marc Bergevin finally sent P.K. Subban to Nashville, in exchange for Shea Weber.
Also during this same episode last Friday, Friedman and Marek mentioned this:
They also add that Jeff Gorton and the New York Rangers were desperate to get a top-10 pick to draft young Clayton Keller, but to no avail.
