There is no speculation currently about Subban's future with the New Jersey Devils' organization, but on May 2nd, he became a UFA. With a 22-point season behind him and with him out prior to his UFA status it will be interesting to see where he ends up.

Subban made a name for himself with the Montreal Canadiens from 2009-16, winning the Norris Trophy as the NHL's best defenseman during the 2012-13 campaign. He was then traded to the Nashville Predators, where he spent three seasons before joining the Devils.

Subban also made a name for himself, being a net positive off the ice in Montreal as well:

In Sep. 2015, through the foundation, he made a financial commitment of $10 million over seven years to Montreal Children's Hospital, which in response, named the atrium after him. The hospital called the donation «the biggest philanthropic commitment by a sports figure in Canadian history.» (from 'The Making of P.K April 2, 2022)
