Playing career

Subban was signed by the Canucks to a three-year entry-level contract on May 14, 2015.[2] Following their training camp for the 2015–16 season, the Canucks assigned Subban to their American Hockey League affiliate, the Utica Comets, to begin his professional career.[3] He spent the entire season with the Comets, tallying 11 goals and 25 assists in 67 games.

At the start of the 2016–17 season, Subban was again assigned to the Comets to start the season.[4] On January 5, 2017, Subban was named an AHL All-Star,[5] and on January 19, the Canucks recalled Subban for his first stint in the NHL,[6] though he did not see any game action before being returned to the Comets. On December 7, 2017, Subban was traded to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for Nic Dowd.[7]

After finishing the season with the Kings' AHL farm team, the Ontario Reign, Subban was not offered a contract by the Kings and was released as a free agent, whereupon he signed with the hometown Toronto Maple Leafs on a one-year, two-way contract on July 1, 2018.[8]

Subban sat out the pandemic delayed and shortened 2020–21 season as a free agent, returning to resume his professional by agreeing to a one-year AHL contract with the Hershey Bears, a primary affiliate to the Washington Capitals, on August 12, 2021.[9]
