Weber was a Canadian Olympic hero, Subban the Norris Trophy winner of the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season. Claiming Weber had a superior season to Subban, as most metrics discussed below indicate, doesn’t mean Weber, who’s four years older and signed through 2025-26, has made Montreal the winner of the trade. He leads Montreal defencemen comfortably in both categories. In fact, Weber outranks Subban across the board here, except for drawn penalties and face-offs (since defencemen don’t take them). Weber and Subban have had better offensive seasons, but both tallied points at a dependable rate, Weber especially so on the power play.
