Re: What's Up With Your Team- Age of Arbitration

Yeah, that occurred to me basically immediately after I hit enter, lol.

This just seems weird and kind of upsetting. (Especially questioning Subban's work ethic? Wtf.) There's a certain amount of character assassination after unpopular trades, but I don't feel like I usually hear it from the players. I think they probably believe it at least somewhat, though I wouldn't be surprised either if Habs management had a hand in it.

The Habs in general seem like one big weird situation. I guess we'll see how it shakes out over the next couple seasons.

Yeah, thinking about it, what seems most plausible to me is that they do believe it at least somewhat, but management is encouraging them to talk openly about it. Because, yeah, this is above and beyond what I feel is the normal kind of post-trade character assassination, which seems to happen more noisily in the press and much more tacitly with the team? I can see how other players might resent Subban's style of play on a team with a risk-averse system, even if evaluating Subban himself as a player who is a risk to have on the team is off the mark.
