Really...I feel the players should be ashamed of themselves here. Or, I wonder if NOT having a guy on the back end like Subban hurt them more than people realized at first. Sure, Subban hasn't done jack in New Jersey, but perhaps that trade hurt both the team and player. Subban was part of a very, very good top 4 defense core in Nashville, then was expected to be a savior in NJ. And that solid top 4 helped out the goalies....well, you know, an entire chain reaction of unfortunate events for Nashville. And Laviolette, good a coach as he can be, paid the price. Subban wasn't a difference maker in Nashville. He was unnecessary and it was smart on the Predators for finding someone to take him off their hands. Nashville's quality blueline is Josi, Ellis and Ekholm's domain even when P.K. Subban was there. But even they can't make up for sub-par goaltending.
