When the New Jersey Devils announced they were trading for Nashville Predators defenseman P.K. Subban, it felt perfect. Never has a veteran felt like the right fit more than Subban on the Devils. There’s a myriad of reasons why Subban felt right. He was coming off an off year, but some slight injuries might have made his value right for Ray Shero. Obviously getting a number-one defenseman for a surprising 7th-round pick defenseman, an NHL defenseman that was slightly overpaid and two 2nd-round picks is a huge win.
Speaking of number-one defenseman, the Devils desperately needed that on the roster.
