Ray Canuck Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 OMG can't believe some of you think Shea made an error... He is getting 110 Mil, even after tax he will be a very wealthy man and done work no later than age 40... congrats Shea, job well done! Hats off to the Preds as well, I now am a believer in you as a real member of hockey! May you grow the sport in Tennessee and become successful!! And Kudos to MG for recognizing the situation and not making an a$$ of our organization! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 The Preds are almost certainly going to be a weaker team this year than last. Philly has a strong team and would have been that much better with Weber, but I'm not sure that would be enough to "scare" me as long as their goaltending is substandard.

Trebreh Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Now that Weber is locked up for his entire career, we will never see him in a Canuck jersey unless he demands a trade here.. There will be no Hamhuis - Weber tandem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley to Vancouver Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 He will be traded. Just watch once/if this seaspn starts and ends he will ask for a trade. But good on nashville for sticking up for what they belive in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedintron Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I have to admit, I honestly thought Weber would end up in Philly but I guess not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vancanfan Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Good job Predators, stick that in your pipe and smoke it Holmgren you dumba$$! You may have saddled them with a huge contract but he can still be traded next year, and they retain a great player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Kevin Epp, Weber's agent is on Prime Time right now. He says he will ask the Preds to add a NTC , NMC to Weber's contract. There are conflicting reports on if this provision can be added, Friedman says there might be something on page 36 of CBA that allows NTC, NMC to be added. If it is doable both Weber and the Preds would have to agree to this. If I am the Preds I do NOT agree to add this provision to Weber's contract.

Noheart Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Expected, but you've gotta feel for Weber, being stuck in Nashville until the end of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrrFour Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 It just shows the greed of players to me. They want these ridiculous 15 year contracts knowing that there's no way they'll be worth the amount they're being paid for the majority of the contract. Instead of being paid what they're worth. In the new CBA 5-7 contract max may actually be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Lol no way they add a NTC NMC. Weber basically went and negotiated a way overpriced contract without the side that has to pay it. Now wants them to throw in a NTC? Good luck with that.. I don't blame him for signing the contract, but get real lol My prediction.. Nashville lets these other young stud dmen develop and then trades weber down the road for all the upfront scoring power they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tystick Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 He'll be traded when the opportunity arises, no way he stays in Nashville now. At least NSH will be able to get something decent out of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry_Wilkins Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Holmgrem basicaly tried to bully Nashville into giving up Weber with his owners bottomless pockets, and he lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etsen3 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Good chance he gets traded. Nashville can get a much bigger return than the 4 draft picks through a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry_Wilkins Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Really? Greed of players? Weber is being paid what he is worth under the current CBA. The canucks and a few other high revenue teams would've paid it too because they think he is worth the money in their quest to win a cup. Max 5-7 year contracts would be great for low revenue teams. All the stars would be equally distributed among the teams because the top players would want max length and max salary. It would level the competitive playing field for the league. Parity would be the rule. I'd prefer a CBA that allows the canucks to use our considerable resources (from high ticket prices, sold out games, jersey sales, etc.) to sign long term, front loaded contracts for top players. I really don't care what shea weber, christian bale, sid crosby, justin bieber, peyton manning, kobe bryant make. Just win us a cup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrrFour Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 The irony here is that Kobe Bryant has been underpaid his entire career relative to the lesser lights in the league. The problem with the NBA lately has been the ridiculous contracts dished out to the middling players whereas superstars like Kobe and LeBron are capped at $20 million per year. I agree with your entire post. Players get whatever the market will bear. No one's paying to go and see Nick Spaling in NSH. Weber gets them gate money, and he enriches that gate because NSH get more playoff revenue with him in the line-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoreline74 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...
