Evil Roach Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Judging from the overwhelming numbers of CDC users that say the word "Weber" in every thread that has something to do with either "next year" or "defencemen" has led me to believe that Offseaon 2013 might be Mr. Disappointment for us... I'm going to guess all of us, including me would die to have Shea Weber on our team. I feel that we might be setting ourselves up for a huge let down. There are other factors that go in to an NHLers mind than just "coming home". Yes, it happened with Hamhuis and Garrison but this doesn't mean it will automatically happen to Weber. Some topics lately, have been about trading Alex Edler, to make room for Weber in the Top 4. Since when was Weber for sure a Canuck? Let say David Poile pulls the unthinkable (not really) and resigns Weber to a contract, then what? Let's say, Shea Weber cashes in free agent, then what? What if money was more important than "coming home" to Weber, then what? What if Weber loves country music, then what? What if Weber likes George Strait better than The Odds, then what? This might be Justin Schultz x100 let down if Weber doesn't sign with us. Yes, "a man can dream" but all I'm saying is, Weber is not sure shot Canuck by next season until his picture is on the front page of CDC...all of us CDC users are just setting ourselves up for a whole lot of pain if he doesn't sign.

mpt Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 He wasn't even a Canucks fan growing up, so I wouldn't bet on him signing here. It would be nice but other teams like Detriot, Philly and Pittsburgh would be awfully tempting as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm almost certain we won't get him, but it's a nice thought. Might as well try and be optimistic every once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Resigning Elder would be enough for me. I'd like to see us acquire a higher pick next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanKeslord17 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm not sure why everybody thinks it's near impossible to land Weber. Lets face the reality: He doesn't want to play in Nashville anymore, more so with Suter gone. That leaves him to decide, does he want money and play on a sub-par team? Or come home and play on a contender? Obviously he won't sign for money, that's why He won't sign in Nashville. So he would like to play on a contender. So who do we have? Canucks, Penguins, Wings, Sharks, Philly, and LA. So really it's down to only 6-8 teams and Canucks are definetely one of them. Last I checked 1 in 8 aren't long shots at all. Plus, ofcourse, this is his hometown. And the Canucks won't low ball him either, he woud definetely get North of $7.5M here anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_a_M Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Canucks are not getting Weber. Canucks have a little more than 19 mil for next year, Edler will take about 5-6mil and burrows could eat up 3-4 mil. Which leaves the Canucks with around 9 to 10 mil to sign 9 other players.

Dildo Faggins Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 One thing you can quote me on is that Garrison will be the only "big" signing, and Gillis will do nothing for the rest of FA except pick up a few cheap nobody's. So forget about any Shane Doan or any other player of that calibre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zedlee Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 And that's the biggest reason we aren't getting him, we can't afford his most likely 8 to 8.5 million dollar caphit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Its an extremely disappointing off-season. While other teams get better, we're going no where but side ways. We're still stuck in the Luongo saga, lost a fan favorite in Salo and have added nothing to our offence. I'm loosing faith in MG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
