Spectacular Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Nick Kypreos @RealKyper If #Preds match #Flyers offer, they must keep him 1 calendar yr before trying to trade him. Oh and pay him 27M in meantime.#nothappening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice orca Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Do you think Weber does not already know that Nashville will match. He is not STUCK in Nashville, he decided to stay there and this way he accelerates the process and forces Nashville's hand. This is HIS choice to sign that offersheet.Not everyone wants to play with the Sedins and Kesler OMG!!!! Has MG made Vancouver the destination that no prime FA wants to go to?

CanucksJay Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I think people should stop freaking out. For the Weber lovers out there, it is still possible that the Canucks end up with him next year summer (when we probably WOULD have given him an offer as a UFA). I can't see Nashville NOT matching. 100m for 14 years is pretty much Suter type money that they offered. Say Nashville matches and Weber plays the next year in Nashville and they miss the playoffs or does not look like a contending team, I'm sure Weber can request a trade and you have to believe the Canucks would be on his list. People thought that Lu's career would end as a Canuck after his massive contract but just a couple years later, we are running him out of town. I know the immediate money is 26m in 1 calendar year but I'm sure Nashville will work something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I disagree as the Flyers have done this before and have made big trades so giving offer sheets to the right players like a Weber scares nobody away as they just have the balls to do it.

stuckinontario Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Wouldn't want Weber if it means taking on a contract like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 i wonder if this contract will stand, due to the new CBA limitations around the cap circumvention rules. could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neversummer Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Does anyone else find it ironic that the owners tabled a 5 year limit to contracts and then Philly goes out and does this? Owners can't control themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybone Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Wow. I knew if he signed it would be close to Crosby money. Polie is really backed into a corner but Weber may have given him an out with the massive contract. I guess this is the biggest offersheet signed in history?

Neversummer Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Weber will be a bargain ... in year 7! Seriously, in 2019, $6m/yr will be like peanuts for a top dawg Dman. I know he would have made a billion by then but still, I wonder if players can think that far ahead. Get the new CBA done this week, 5 year contracts max and every year the same amount.

Baka Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Philly's defensive size would be pretty outrageous with Weber. Weber: 6'4 at 232 Schenn: 6'2 at 229 Coburn: 6'5 at 220 Grossmann: 6'3 at 227 Meszaros: 6'2 at 223 Then the little man..
