Taylor Hall is now a New Jersey Devil while P.K. Subban will be suiting up for the Nashville Predators this fall. Yes, these happened. Just a few hours ago in fact. Crazy, isn't it?
Here’s how Taylor Hall and P.K. Subban reacted to the media after their blockbuster trades
They seem to be taking it better than most fans.
While most reasonable hockey fans can understand that these trades are inherently bad for both the Edmonton Oilers and Montreal Canadiens, how do the recipients of these deals feel?
Take it away, Hall:
Taylor Hall : "little shocked at first. Disappointed not to see it thru in EDM, feel a little slighted."

Taylor Hall "I do take this as an indictment on me as a hockey player. I'm a motivated hockey player right now"

Taylor Hall said Edmonton was "taken from him," when discussing chat with Chiarelli. #Oilers

At least being traded didn't dim the gem that is P.K. Subban.
Subban: "They were a pretty good looking team w/ Shea Weber, but I think they've gotten better looking now." #Preds
