In last week’s analytics mailbag, I mentioned that I got a lot of questions about. It’s probably a little fortunate for Subban that he’s been in a smaller market like New Jersey this season, because outside of Montreal Canadiens fans who either still love him or want to relitigate the trade that sent him to Nashville, there hasn’t been too much attention on a disastrous season for him.
With SPORTLOGiQ data we can reach back five years into the past to Subban’s final season with the Canadiens, and contrast each of the following seasons. The drop upon landing in Nashville is probably partly due to joining a team that already had Roman Josi there as the primary offensive contributor from the back end, forcing Subban to take a decidedly less-risky approach to his game, which is reflected in going from the 80th percentile in defensive-zone-turnover rate to an average of 95th percentile while in Nashville.
AndrewBerkshire Play declines, ego increases
AndrewBerkshire Nope
AndrewBerkshire Having a girlfriend become a fiancé has taken the wind out of his sails. 🤣🤣🤣
AndrewBerkshire PKSubban1 what do you think?
AndrewBerkshire Got engaged
AndrewBerkshire Meh... and Tozzzz
AndrewBerkshire Not a bad player but terrible defensive game never deserved the norris
AndrewBerkshire Sure there is. It will only be more imperative that the GM for whichever franchise he plays for finds the right partner to pair him up with that can compensate for his deficiencies .
AndrewBerkshire Only donkey Subbanistas like Jerkshire ever saw him as an elite player in the first place...how is this guy considered a journalist....ankle skating nerd
AndrewBerkshire PK can still play and be a very effective and productive player for the right team!! I’ll take him on my team any day.
AndrewBerkshire Yes
AndrewBerkshire Suter should have won the Norris that year.
AndrewBerkshire He had a lot great & bad moments when he played for the Habs. That's just the type of defensivemen he is. His play style is very high risk, high reward. However I do think he has the potential to rebound and play at a elite level again.
AndrewBerkshire Perfect ending to the article. If I were a betting man, I’d bet that his back is a major factor. The end-to-end rushes have been replaced by stationary defensive positioning. Even when he has room to wheel. I’d be shocked if that wasn’t a direct result of his neck & back injury
AndrewBerkshire He’s still better than Weber
AndrewBerkshire PKSubban1 is still a great player. The devils placed in the bottom 10 in every offensive category and the forwards aren’t the greatest in transition.. what do you expect him to do? He needed this season to end. Next year he’ll settle in and go back to full form 👌🏽
AndrewBerkshire Tougher minutes, different role/expectations, weaker teammates all factors here. He had a rough start but was starting to show some of what he is/was capable of. Feel this was a tough year to accurately rate his decline/game. Fair play Andrew.
AndrewBerkshire
AndrewBerkshire Yes he can still be very effective..I just think you put him in a bigger market team and he rises .
AndrewBerkshire He never deserved the Norris

AndrewBerkshire Really? This is what you are rolling with right now. Harsh critiques where a player can't even refute it with his own play on the ice? Stick to showcasing future prospects!
