kurtzfan Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Why is it so hard to bring Weber the line up?! I don't get that. Weber is like another Salo. He can make some good plays during the power play. He read the plays well . . I really don't know Weber is in W.D's dog house this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazmanian Devil Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Scratch Hutton for Weber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Barzal Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 The only thing Weber even has a shred of likeness to in Salo is the velocity and power behind his shot.He doesn't possess the accuracy.He doesn't possess the vision.He doesn't possess the sense of timing.He doesn't even hold a candle to Salo in the defensive zone. He's not in the dog house, he's just not that good. CDC has the tendency to overrate our hard working players any how. Bartkowski has flaws, but he's Benning's prize acquisition and his ability to gain the zone is unrivalled on this team. Weber will not see the ice unless injuries strike.

Yeah prize acquisition guy who has only one career goal in like 136 games good job Benning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperReverb2 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hutton is so MUCH better than Weber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Yeah prize acquisition guy who has only one career goal in like 136 games good job BenningIt's less about his work in the o-zone and more about getting out of the d-zone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Our defense and goaltending have been fine. It's our second line that is killing us. Maybe Weber could play up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can make some good plays during the power play. He read the plays well . .I really don't know Weber is in W.D's dog house this year.Because he is not very good. The players that have more to offer are already in the line up. He lost his starting position due to Hutton outplaying him. He is a fringe player at best and will probably not get into the line up unless there are injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Vanderhoek Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 It's less about his work in the o-zone and more about getting out of the d-zoneThis is it, he will have a solid year in terms of production as well ( Bartkowski ). Contrary to another suggestion - Weber actually has a strong and accurate shot while being capable of getting it off with good timing. He simply is not as good a transition player as Hutton and this is what management was heavy on in their decision making. Hence Bartkowski, Hutton in the lineup.

Shift-4 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I would be happy to swap Weber for Bart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC20.0 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Weber's our 7th best defenseman on the team. Simple. There is no one we should take out of the line up for him. Even Sbisa's playing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I would consider playing him as a forward for the time being. But to replace who? Bartchi comes to mind, but then Bartchi would call up his agent and fly.Otherwise we could yank out Bartkowski and put in Weber. Bartkowski however is another guy the team needs to upsell.

And Bartkowski has been solid thus far, not a candidate to be scratched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchoball Cannons Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Bartkowski didn't have a great game against the Caps. I could see Weber take his place for a game or 2. His shot would help the PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can make some good plays during the power play. He read the plays well . . I really don't know Weber is in W.D's dog house this year. The only thing Weber and Salo have remotely in common is the No. 6 on the back of the jersey. Said it before and I'll say it again...Weber is a waste of cap space and a spot on the 23 man roster. I'd waive him in a second and bring up Fedun. I'll make a bold prediction on Weber -- he's going to go on unrecallable waivers for the purpose of receiving an unconditional release and go back to Switzerland where he'll be the star that this dude kurtzfan thinks Weber is.

And Bartkowski has been solid thus far, not a candidate to be scratched.Bartshi's in the lineup because of this. Bartkowski or Weber are interchangeable. But if there's something wrong with Weber, so be it.Getting him into the lineup isn't going to make or break this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weber's 11 goal campaign last year was 3 goals less than Sami Salo's peak season with 14 (Weber did it in 2 less GP). Salo's second best season was a tally of 10. I think you're not giving Weber enough credit here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
