It appears the Nashville Predators weren't the only club in the P.K. Subban sweepstakes.
The Montreal Canadiens dealt Subban to the Nashville Predators in exchange for Shea Weber, but the Edmonton Oilers were also in talks for the Norris Trophy-winning defenseman, according to TSN's Ryan Rishaug.
The Oilers pursued Subban, but the Canadiens were reportedly asking for Leon Draisaitl, the No. 4 overall draft pick, Oscar Klefbom or Darnell Nurse, and more.
The ask was evidently too much for the Oilers, especially with the fourth overall pick turning into forward Jesse Puljujarvi.
