On June 29, 2016, Steven Stamkos' name and PK Subban's were linked. Article after article described that Wednesday afternoon, where between 2 PM and 2:30, the NHL changed forever. Twitter broke the news PK Subban was traded to the Nashville Predators, and not 20 minutes later, Stamkos announced on his Twitter that he had re-signed with Tampa Bay.
These two players had always been high-profile cornerstones for their organizations, but while Stamkos was used to the quieter pace of sunbelt hockey and clearly welcomed more years of his career in Tampa, Subban was not. Yesterday's video tribute for Subban's return to Montreal might have proven that Subban's heart is still made for the limelight of Montreal.
