Possible bad news for PK Subban and his future in the NHL
We are now just three weeks away from the start of NHL training camps, and PK Subban, a former Norris-winning defenseman, is still a free agent.
Subban is coming off a contract that was originally signed by the Montreal Canadiens that paid him $72 million over 8 years. He was traded not too long after signing this deal to the Nashville Predators in exchange for Shea Weber, then later traded to the New Jersey Devils.
Subban was drafted 47th overall back in 2007, and last season he scored 5 goals and 22 points while averaging just over 18 minutes of ice time.
The former star defenceman was looking for a new team in free agency after the New Jersey Devils told him they would not be re-signing him, and Subban was hoping to find that perfect fit to rejuvenate his career.
Unfortunately, though, we are almost at the end of the offseason, and we still don't see him on a new team.
This is what his agent had to say:
Subban definitely isn't that high-scoring Norris calibre defenceman anymore, but given the right opportunity, he can still definitely be a double digit goal-scoring defenceman. He possesses a great first pass and a booming shot, if a team can sign him at the league minimum, he could be an absolute steal.
