Not smart at all. So what if they trade him before his NMC kicks in? They are losing out on a franchise defenceman. Those guys don't grow on trees. They signed him to that deal to make a commitment to him to be the backbone of their back end for years to come. Now because the team is struggling, suddenly it's good management to trade that away? There's a lot more at play then simply getting rid of a contract before a NTC kicks in. You're losing out on an elite defender. With Markov getting older and Subban gone, they suddenly lose their top pairing down the road. Not good.
The Habs issues lie much deeper then Subban. Maybe losing the best goalie in the world in Price is the #1 factor? Maybe Therrien is the issue.
This rumour is a bunch of BS.
