Twitter Reaction: Stamkos, Subban, Hall, Weber insanity

Eric Engels was shocked at the announcement that PK Subban has been traded to Nashville for Shea Weber, saying that this was the deal that was thought dead on the Draft floor.

Well, that was a little bit insane, no?

Here are some of the best tweets from Wednesday afternoon’s hockey news explosion. Stamkos stays. Hall leaves. And P.K. Subban and Shea Weber switch sides. All of this occurred in roughly 23 minutes of madness.

Everything happened.

A tremendous increase in the loss of interest towards the sport of hockey among people of color all thanks to the @CanadiensMTL organization

Just spoke to Subban "I'll be @CanadiensMTL for life.Really happy to be going to a team that wants me in @PredsNHL." @NHL @NHLNetwork

Hard to understand why on earth the Canadiens would not want P.K. Subban on their team. Impossible, actually.

— Arpon Basu (@ArponBasu) June 29, 2016

Im sorry for all the Montreal fans that I was right, I'm sorry like you that PK is gone!

— Georges Laraque (@GeorgesLaraque) June 29, 2016

So, on the same date that #Habs traded Chris Chelios 26 years ago, they ship away PK Subban. We know how the Chelios trade turned out.

Marc Bergevin just saved Peter Chiarelli

I'm opening a new restaurant in Montreal called Chez Weber. You bring us a gourmet steak and we give you back a hamburger that costs more.

Reported last winter the #Canadiens were gauging the market on Subban. Proof today as Subban is traded to #Preds for Shea Weber.

— Louis Jean (@LouisJeanMedia) June 29, 2016

On another note, a good deal for both MTL and NSH. Subban has some insulating players in NSH dressing room, MTL gets an actual captain.

On the Taylor Hall–for–Adam Larsson trade:

"I feel very strongly about this player. I feel like he's only scratched the surface. He's really excited." Chiarelli on @AdamLarsson3

Thank you to the city of Edmonton, the fans, and most of all, my teammates throughout my time with the Oilers. I will always cherish my(1/2)

time there and the memories that came with it. In saying that, my thoughts turn into excitement when I think about the chance in NJ! (2/2)

Some nice savings in the Hall deal for @EdmontonOilers . Interested to see what GM Chiarelli does with it…

— Mike Rupp (@Rupper17) June 29, 2016

#Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli has now traded the Top 2 picks from the 2010 NHL Draft (Hall & Seguin).

— Sportsnet Stats (@SNstats) June 29, 2016

On the bright side there might be an Oilers fan that thinks they're getting Oliver Ekman-Larsson in that trade.

— Paul Bissonnette (@BizNasty2point0) June 29, 2016

Pete Chiarelli in the mirror: "I see your Seguin trade and raise you this Taylor Hall trade."

The Canadian NHL teams get what they deserve.

That's the bottom line today.

On Steven Stamkos staying in Tampa Bay:

Excited to be back for 8 more years @TBLightning ! Here we go …..

— Steven Stamkos (@RealStamkos91) June 29, 2016

We could have done great things, @RealStamkos91.

Stamkos signed and everyone is busy. It's pretty funny actually.

— Jason Brough

Steven Stamkos always maintained he wanted to stay with #tblightning. And Yzerman never closed any doors.

Stamkos takes far less than open market dollars for a real chance to win. Yep, that's captain material all right.

— Arash Madani (@ArashMadani) June 29, 2016

So, Stamkos will come home to Toronto in 2024..They'll be ready to win by then

— Nick Alberga (@thegoldenmuzzy) June 29, 2016

Congratulations to @TBLightning for keeping there most important player & Captain. #greatsigning @NHLNetwork https://t.co/ei7jvOkMEw
