On the Montreal Canadiens and P.K. Subban …
7: 08 PM:
So basically Bergevin won't outright say Subban isn't available because you never say never, but it is not likely he will get moved.
— Dan Rosen (@drosennhl) June 23, 2016
Bergevin says he is not actively shopping Subban and it’s not realistic that he would trade him. He is getting calls, but they are quick.
— Dan Rosen (@drosennhl) June 23, 2016
Asked by @drosennhl if it was realistic a Subban trade could happen, Bergevin answered "No."

Marc Bergevin says he’s received calls on all of his top players over the years. “All you do is you do your job as a (GM) to listen.”
— Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) June 23, 2016
Marc Bergevin won’t categorically say he won’t trade Subban but isn’t actively shopping him.
— Louis Jean (@LouisJean_TVA) June 23, 2016
Bergevin asked why the Subban trade talk comes up all the time. “I have no idea why. You tell me. … I have no issues with what he does.”

#Habs GM Marc Bergevin says he’s still listening to calls from other teams about PK Subban #HabsIO
— Stu Cowan (@StuCowan1) June 23, 2016
“I never shopped Subban. Are they creating rumours? Of course. But I don’t pay attention to it.” – Bergevin
— Marc Dumont (@MarcPDumont) June 23, 2016
Me: Jim, you caused a bit of a storm today..
Benning: About PK? I called. And so did 20 other teams.
— John Shannon (@JSportsnet) June 23, 2016
Bergevin reiterates he won’t talk transactions and can’t stop other GM’s from calling him. #TSN690

Hearing #Canadiens Bergevin price remains too high in his bid to trade Subban. Moving up @2016NHLDraft for crack at Dubois remains priority

From a source close to #PKSubban just now on trade rumors: “It’s anyone’s guess…he (Subban) doesn’t know anything.” #Habs

6:18 PM:
Pierre LeBrun of ESPN: Source confirms that the Edmonton Oilers have spoken with the Montreal Canadiens about P.K. Subban. It’s not known if the Canadiens would really trade Subban, or if they are just listening to calls. Subban’s no trade clause kicks in on July 1st.
The Oilers are looking to add a defenseman and have talked to other teams as well. They have the No. 4 pick to dangle
“I’ve had discussions that include that pick. We’re looking at all the different options: making the pick, trading down, including that pick in a trade for a defenseman, I’ve had discussions with teams on all those options,” Chiarelli said.
One rumors is the Canadiens possibly asking for Leon Draisaitl and the No. 4 pick in a package for Subban.
Source confirmed that the Canucks have also spoken with the Canadiens.
Those I am talking to so far, and I emphasize so far, or saying all this Montreal Edmonton stuff is just conjecture. A runaway rumor.

I will also add that anything that is out there right now is coming out of Montreal and not Edmonton

McKenzie: #Habs open to notion of trading Subban if they get right deal, but right deal is going to be very difficult to put together.
— Chris Nichols (@NicholsOnHockey) June 23, 2016
Bob McKenzie on if Subban gets traded: “If I had to guess, I’d say probably not, but not for a lack of conversation”

#Canucks GM Jim Benning tells us he has spoken with #Habs on PK Subban. High price, and “it’s a long way from completing a deal like that”

Ray Ferraro says he thinks there’s a greater than 50% chance PK Subban changes teams this weekend.
— Platinum Seat Ghosts (@3rdPeriodSuits) June 23, 2016
Ferraro on Subban: “I think they want to get out from under that cap hit, I really do”
— Platinum Seat Ghosts (@3rdPeriodSuits) June 23, 2016
Ferraro would trade #4 and one of RNH/Draisaitl for Subban. Said if he was Edm, he’d want another small piece. Would you? #NHLDraft
— Jason Gregor (@JasonGregor) June 23, 2016
Canadiens are not shopping Subban but other teams are indeed calling and more frequently as July 1 no-movement clause approaches…
— Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) June 22, 2016
Someone around the Oilers organization just confirmed to me that the Canadiens asked for Draisaitl and the 4 pick for Subban!
