When PK Subban was in his prime with the Montreal Canadiens, he was one of the best defenceman in the league and also one of the most well known figures in the league.

On June 29th 2016 when the news was announced that he was traded to the Nashville Predators, it shocked the hockey world as it was well known how much Subban loved the city of Montreal and how much the city of Montreal loved him.

Former enforcer George Laraque, who is one of the best fighters we ever saw in the game, was a teammate of Subban's in his rookie season. On a recent podcast, he revealed that the reason Subban was traded was due to some tensions in the locker room.

On the podcast Laraque explains that what was one of the major reasons for the Subban trade was two players on the Habs in Max Pacioretty and Brenden Gallagher.


The reason why P.K Subban got traded is because of two players, Max Pacioretty and Brandan Gallagher.

Brendan Gallagher really did not like Subban at all. PK. Subban knew that Gallagher didn't like him.

In the locker room, Pacio and Gally really didn't like him. They would go see the GM Marc Bergevin and tell him we want him out.

The only reason the Canadiens could have kept Subban is if they traded Pacioretty and Gallagher.
