Zoolander Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 We'll see how good Weber actually is, without Suter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice orca Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Haha looks good on Holmgren and Snider as well as a bunch of screamers on this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks_dynasty Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Expected. PHI was stupid and tried to force NSH hand. Weber got want he wanted = $$$. NSH has it's captain and #1D (Norris trophy candidate every year) for the next 10-14 yrs. NSH just needs to upgrade the forward scoring depth. They will be scary if they ever get some legit snipers there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheaWeber6 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Not surprising at all really, but now it will be interesting to see if Nashville will indeed trade him next year and how much they will be able to get for Shea Weber at full value and if Shea will even be happy in Nashville.

Rey Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 How about how good Suter is without Weber? My guess is Weber continues to shine and Suter takes a fair dip in points, much like Ehrhoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja321 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Pretty expected. If NSH didn't they would look really bad to their fans next year loosing both their top defencemens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonnieColeman Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 As cocky and full of himself that hockeyinsiderr guy on twitter is, he's been calling stuff left right and center, he called this yesterday, called the Nash deal a couple weeks ago, and has gotten many others....but the dude needs to be a little more humble and stop acting like a brat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of Tom Joad Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I really did not expect Nashville to have to the financial capacity to match this offer. As a Flyers fan, I'm glad they did match the offer; it was important for the future of their franchise-- both the players and the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Oh, shut it. Nashville's a very respectable NHL franchise. It's not their fault that they operate in a marketplace where hockey takes a back seat to football, basketball, and baseball (as it does in all other US cities). Give me Nashville's management & scouting over ours, any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck028 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 correct me if i am wrong, but after year one of weber's new contract, can he not be traded? it is clear that weber got the money and length of term he wanted, but is nashville truly his desired location? following next season, would it be that far out of the question to see nashville trade weber, kind of like in the NBA with all the "sign and trade" feals that occur. i know it is unlikely after the amount nashville will pay weber in that one year alone, and i know it seems even more unlikely given the fact weber could have just signed a one year deal and then tested free agency, but with the new CBA coming soon, who knows if a 14 yr/110 mill deal could be signed. who's to say weber is actually happy in nashville? is it still plausible he becomes a canuck down the road? maybe even next offseason. i assume weber, along with the preds organization dont want this to turn into a kyle turris type of ordeal. thoughts?

knuck Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 everybody loses. Weber for being a douche and not signing a 1 year offer sheet and testing the free agency next year, Philly for being Philly and losing out, and Nashville for not having dealt him (or Suter) when they had ample time all last year and prior to trade deadline, draft, or July 1.

goalie13 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Unbelievable!! Just rebuild already, they could have just shopped the 4 first round picks for better players, or kept them and pulled a Pittsburg or Edmonton and build through the draft.

Watermelons Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Anyone else still mad about Gillis not offer sheeting Weber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Gillis was right. The only way to get Weber out of Nashville was to convince him to sign a one-year offer sheet. Other than the threat of losing him for nothing, there was no way that Nashville was going to let Shea go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
