In the straight up deal, the Predators parted with their former captain in Weber who’s signed through the 2021 season at just over $7.8 million per.
Meanwhile, the Canadiens who’ve seemingly been trying to move Subban for months part with his contract that pays out a cap hit of $9 million through the 2021 season. If the Habs were also going to move Subban they would’ve had to do so before July 1st when his no-movement clause kicked in.
