Deal is Steve Santini, Jeremy Davis, 2nd round pick in this year’s draft (#34) and 2nd round pick in 2020 for PK Subban.

The Devils took on the entirety of Subban’s $9 million salary in the deal as well, which is likely a major factor behind the modest return heading to Nashville. The Predators were in need of cap space and prioritized that ahead of maximizing Subban’s trade value.
A three-time All-Star, Subban goes from a Stanley Cup contender in Nashville to a rebuilding effort in New Jersey. The 30-year-old should help accelerate that effort, while also bringing the art of trolling to New Jersey with him.
