So my Habs trade PK for Weber largely because of Weber's perceived leadership advantage. The Habs are out, again. The Preds are now in the Western final and show no signs of slowing down, a place they never got to with Weber, for all his "leadership". And the Habs with PK made it as far as the eastern final a couple of times.

If the Preds should somehow win the Cup, I keep imagining some sort of acceptance speech from PK. "But, most of all, I'd like to thank Marc Bergevin for trading me to a team with a real shot at the Cup."
