All six trades verified against NHL.com, Wikipedia draft/player pages, ESPN, PuckPedia trade pages, and On the Forecheck. No salary was retained in any of these transactions. Scope: this tree traces the two defensemen and the two second-round picks Nashville received for Subban, as instructed. Return assets not descended from those two picks are listed for completeness but not traced further: Steven Santini and Jeremy Davies (Nashville's other returns for Subban); Evgenii Dadonov (Montreal's return for Weber); Nick Bonino, Luke Kunin, and the No. 70 pick attached to the 2020 Bonino/Kunin trade; and Dysin Mayo (Vegas's return for Weber). Caveats: the No. 70 (2020) pick was Minnesota's own selection Nashville had acquired and returned, and after further out-of-tree trades Detroit used it on Eemil Viro. The Weber-for-Dadonov trade is dated June 16, 2022 per ESPN and NHLPA. Direct WebFetch of PuckPedia pages returned 403 and the NHL.com Coyotes release returned empty, but their contents are corroborated by ESPN, Wikipedia, and matching search-result summaries.
