Quantifying a player to another player doesn’t make sense
Doughty vs Karlson as an example
It’s what the personality, energy and skill does on the group that makes the difference. Weber as a Predator was a no shit moment. Subban as a Pred is a no duh trade with little risk - but Weber isn’t a dynamic personality like Subban.
Do I believe if that trade didn’t go down that things would be much different? No because we still wouldn’t have been able to keep Radulov, and the whole Drouin thing would have happened regardless, and would be in the same boat.
Subban made the habs a bit more exciting, a bit more unpredictable, and was a blast to watch. There just isn’t that excitement with Weber around
Switzy hit the nail on the head - built a team to stay quiet and listen - and in turn lost its personality and drive
