Weber is a Pred for Life
they matched.

Re: Weber is a Pred for Life
Many said the same thing about Luongo when he signed his mega deal and his includes a NTC. I would say there is more of a chance that he gets traded by Nashville in a year or two than had he gone to Philly. Obviously Weber is going to come out and say he is happy to be a Pred, but is he? Time will tell.

Re: Weber is a Pred for Life
happy or not, he is 110million richer.
110 million might not make you happy, but it sure can rent it!!

Re: Weber is a Pred for Life
Tough spot for Nashville...but they had to match to save their franchise.
Wonder if the new deal includes a No Trade Clause?

Seeing as they can't trade him for a year, after which they will have shelled out, what, like 26-28 million, and he's probably the best D-man in the league, I don't see much incentive for them to trade him, although it would be a great deal for whomever got him, with a big chunk of the contract spent. My sense is, he is in Nash for a lonnnnnnnnnnng time....

Re: Weber is a Pred for Life
Maybe those in the media and some fans will stop bitching about how the Canucks dropped the ball by not making a long-term offer to Weber.
Gillis called it last week and he stood by it yesterday on the radio.

Re: Weber is a Pred for Life
Good for Nashville. I'm happy they matched. They said they would match any offer and they did. This is why Gillis didn't make an offer. He took Poile at his word.
BTW, NOT A FLAME ... JUST AN OBSERVATION ...

...it's all going according to MG's plan.
Through the use of ridiculously slanted offensive zone starts, CGI, smoke and mirrors, plus a voodoo spell, he will now transform Schroeder into such a valuable asset that he can be the centrepiece of a trade package for Weber next summer.
Truly devious.

Exactly. We've all seen that these so-called lifetime deals aren't worth jack once the player's relationship with the team goes sour.$lacker wrote:Many said the same thing about Luongo when he signed his mega deal and his includes a NTC.

It would be very interesting to see what happens if the Preds miss the playoffs next year.

Re: Weber is a Pred for Life
Agreed, and once the contract starts to wind down and his cash pay is less than his cap hit there is even less incentive to trade him.Boston Canucker wrote:Zedlee wrote:Tough spot for Nashville...but they had to match to save their franchise.

Re: Weber is a Pred for Life
Paul Holmgren has sucessfully ensured Weber will never, ever play a game for the Flyers. If that's what being "bold" gets you, I'll take a pass.

As I said before, Holmgren is such an idiot. Besides he ensured that Weber will never play a game for the Flyers, Holmgren also ensured that the asking price for Weber will be a few times higher than it was a week ago.

Re: Weber is a Pred for Life
And remarkably well polished.
Re: Weber is a Pred for Life
I actually can't believe people though they wouldn't match.....
As has been said numerous times the Preds wanted to sign both Suter and Weber, and they made an offer to Parise as well. They Quite clearly had the cash in place to match this offer.
Obviously they didn't want to give Weber 27 mill over the next year, but losing the player and heading into a full rebuild is way worse.
Even if Weber asks for a deal, you can more or less guarantee that Poile wont move him to the Flyers (or take their calls for any other players)
