The newest Devils defenseman,
acquired via trade with the Nashville Predators on Saturday
, had to get creative in a video he posted to Instagram because, as he admitted, he has no Devils merch.
The closest Subban could come to Devils swag was a red and black water bottle with the logo of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
It was a clever play considering The Rock, otherwise known as Prudential Center, will be Subban's new venue for home games. He also wore a Red Bull hat, a nod to the New York Red Bulls that play in nearby Harrison, New Jersey.
"You guys know the deal," Subban said. "I'm a Devil. Let's go! It's on! ... I don't got any (Devils) merch yet. To all of the fans that go to The Rock, Prudential Center every night to support the New Jersey Devils, can you smell what The Rock is cooking? ... I just want to tell you guys, are you guys ready for The Subbanator, because I'm ready to go!"
Instagram from @subbanator: #Smashville - I love you! Thank you to the @predsnhl team, teammates, fans and community for embracing me over the past three years. Ready for this next chapter... @njdevils are you ready for the Subbanator? 😈☝🏿👀 @therock
Subban also found the perfect photo for his Twitter profile, despite his lack of Devils apparel. New Jersey also assured him that his new merch is waiting for him.
