Former Montreal Canadien Georges Laraque reveals the real reason why PK Subban was traded

P.K Subban was once one of the most polarizing figures in all of hockey, playing with the Montreal Canadiens. When he was traded to the Nashville Predators in June 29th, 2016, it was a shock to fas alike around the sport.

Now, according to former Canadiens forward Georges Laraque, the reason he was traded was because of locker room tensions.

Laraque goes on to explain that the main reasons behind the block buster deal that sent Subban to the Western Conference were two players Max Pacioretty and Brenden Gallagher.





It sounds like there were a lot of things going on behind the scenes in order to make this deal would be to keep 2 players instead of Subban. However, one could argue that at the time of the trade, Subban was more valuable than both. Especially considering not to long Pacioretty would join the Vegas Golden Knights for the 2018-19 season.
