From the start of his career, P.K. Subban has been an incredible defenseman in the NHL. He first started his career with the Canadiens, the Predators, and now the Devils.
His profound skating, notorious slapshot, and ability to hit players have separated him from the rest. The Devils are lucky to have him to support on Defense as he will certainly deliver.
Defense has been a struggling sector for the Devils in recent times, as this has hurt them in goals against. P.K. Subban has the skills and expertise necessary to help boost the defensive ability of the team.
Not only does Subban have the ability to make amazing passing plays to get numbers on the board, but he is also a shooter himself, tallying many goals over the years.
Subban also has amazing vision on the ice both offensively and defensively and is considered a well-rounded defenceman who rightfully earns that title. He also has a keen sense of leadership and this will be able to rub off on the rest of the team.
Working with other talented defensemen such as Andy Greene and Sami Vatanen will also be a plus. Acquiring Subban will undoubtedly be a huge reward for the New Jersey Devils.
