So did anyone ever find out the real reason why Subban was traded out of MTL cause it's obviously not a hockey trade? Definitely there was something wrong in the locker room, was it attitude or his teammates disliking him, or maybe he was sleeping around with other player's wives?

Okay, fair enough. Nothing wrong with hyperbole to make a point as long as one is willing to admit to it.
As for currency, I am pretty sure Forbes converted it all to US Dollars for fair comparison. If their gate receipts were CAD 86mil then that would only be 66mil USD and they would be further behind in total revenue.
I dunno why anyone bothers mentioning the cap recapture penalty with Weber when talking about this trade. That factor exists regardless, independent of the trade.

Yes exactly. But this trade doesn't bring the recapture penalty to the forefront. It was always there, trade or no trade. So it's pretty much irrelevant when discussing the trade. Nashville has marginally less control over the system, but they barely had any control anyways.

I chalk it up to that so far, with all else being so close. Hard to believe it was so bad as to justify a sideways deal for an older player who some say has better leadership qualities (though I disagree with that). I would love to find out but I doubt we ever will.

On Marek vs. Wyshynski today, they mentioned that this would possibly be a non-factor after the next CBA discussions. Nobody seems to like this rule.
With the Preds in particular, it's stupid because they didn't even offer the contract they'll get penalized for -- they matched an offer sheet.

Was bringing it up just to show that Montreal doesn't really stand to lose as much on the back end of Weber's deal. I agree that the trade isn't actually impacted by it though.
Also AgentZero, I can understand where you're coming from as a discouraged fan. I'm just trying to show you that there is reason to be optimistic.
This has been beaten to death a little bit though, so I'm happy to leave it at being excited for next season.

At the end of the day, I see it like this... The Habs traded away Scarlett Johansson and received Sarah Jessica Parker.
Does this negatively affect Carey Price...with his BFF dealt away? I would think not, but...
