L'Orange Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 The Shea Weber to the Canucks posts have officially overtaken the trade Ballard, Raymond, and (insert player here) posts. While the possibility of Weber leaving Nashville has hypothetically increased with the exodus of Suter, having been brought to arbitration last year seems to be the clear indicator of his intention to move on from Nashville. His combination of size, ability, brutality, and hockey sense ensure that he will be the most sought after free agent in recent history, if he becomes a UFA or Poile decides to trade him. The Vancouver Canucks are as possible a landing spot for him, as any of the other 29 teams in league. IMO, in the top five. This has nothing to do with him being a hometown boy. The Sicamous Canucks? The organization knows how to treat players and makes offers that far extend just the salary. They are a perennial contender with various award winning players. Winning the President's Trophy two years in a row doesn't hurt either. I don't know if there is a team as hungry for the Cup as the Canucks. Having been so close and losing out does that to you. However other teams offer just as good a chance to get the Cup. Suter and Parise chose personal reasons to go to Minnesota, could Weber chose the same? What do you all think? And why?

Smashian Kassian Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 If he is avaliable we better go after him. Offer him whatever he wants, just wait for him to request it then go make cap space for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B_a_M Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I would love to see Weber in a Canuck uniform but I am also a not much of a dreamer, and the reality of Weber going to the Canucks is very slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danthecanucksfan Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 if we get Doan, it'll be very hard to sign Weber as a UFA next year. If Nashville does not lock up weber long term soon, they will have to trade him, then it will be whoever is willing to give up the most will get him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiun Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 A single guy with a caphit of 8 million is not going to screw us. If the Canucks really want Weber, and they probably should, they could probably find a way to make that happen. Maybe even without completely selling the farm, too.
