The best part about all this is how well Subban is handling it on social media. He made a video thanking the Nashville organization and its fans while telling New Jersey to get ready for the Subbanator. He also changed his profile photo to a photo shop of him as a devil since he doesn’t have any NJD merchandise yet. I don’t understand how some people don’t like this guy. I get he has a lot of swagger and maybe even a bit of arrogance but he just seems like an all around good dude.

What does this mean for Ty Smith? That potential pp time if he makes the roster is now gone.

Dude, Ty Smith is still 19 years old. He's a good while from making an impact on the NHL roster. He's got a very bright future, and nothing about this Subban trade changes that; however, if you can use this to pick up Smith on the cheap side I would absolutely recommend doing that. He's one of those guys that's just outside the top-tier of D prospects: Makar, Brannstrom, Hughes, Jojiharju, etc.

What's everyone's thoughts on how this impacts PK's fantasy value?
It's pretty much certain he'll get a bump in both PPTOI & 5on5TOI with the Devils now that the D depth isn't what it was in Nashville... Think he can get back to around a 60 point pace like he had a few years ago?
I think it's pretty safe to assume he is going to be a top-15 or 20 fantasy Dman in most setups. With all that talent in New Jersey, I would be really surprised if it just didn't work out for the top guys: Hall, Hischier, Hughes, Palmieri, Subban. Could be looking at at least a couple career-type seasons out of these guys.

I think Subban is going to score 57-62 this year in NJ. The Devs PP is going to be scary and Subban will log the full 2 mins probably--or darn close to it.

This guy became a target for me in draft day (devil laugh)
Theres still room for one more big signing for the Devils via FA or a trade. Panaring?(very long shot) Zuccarelo, Lee, Niquist, Dzingel or Pavelski...
The downside of all the rumbling noise around the Devils is that on draft day Subban, Hall, Hughes and the others will be too high in the ranking..would be hard to get the right value of these guys. We will see.
Devils & Predators fan
The sleeper of the deal is Davies. Sucks he gets buried in Nsh's depth charts. But kid has real skill.
The way Nsh develops Dmen... I can see him becoming a assist heavy 40pt Dman in a few years.
More of a shooter than Will Butcher, but otherwise similar.
Already a couple years of NCAA under his belt, he's not that far behind Fabbro in his development
