Defence rich Nashville trading Subban is a bit different. Trouba was a problem child (and Pionk was the return), and they expected Buff back, too. Braun had to be traded to make room for Karlsson’s contract. The Pens had 8 D under contract and something had to give. Matta had been a healthy scratch for a week to end the season in which he scoffed 14 points.
None of the trades were of the number 2 D on the team. I agree Brody should have been moved, but none of those are comparable.
