Any rumors regarding a potential P.K. Subban trade to the Edmonton Oilers can be put to rest.

TSN's Darren Dreger was on TSN Radio 690 on Tuesday where the topic of a potential trade between the Montreal Canadiens and Oilers involving the club's star defenseman was discussed. Dreger was quick to note a discussion with Oilers' general manager Peter Chiarelli, who told him such a deal was not in the works.

"Peter Chiarelli told me point blank there's been no conversation, there likely wouldn't be any conversation," said Dreger, adding Chiarelli told him: 'this is all industry fodder that you guys (media) want to talk about when things are slow".

Subban finished tied for ninth in points by a defenseman this season with 51, despite missing the team's last 14 games with a neck injury.
