[Signing] Shea Weber to Flyers (OFFERSHEET)


Recommended Posts

If Weber really wanted to leave Nashville, he would not have signed the offer sheet since he was going to be a UFA after this season.

Given the uncertainty of what a new CBA will look like, an offer sheet was probably the only way he was going to cash in for the dollars Suter and Parise got. From Shea's standpoint it's a win-win...he get the big money and term AND gets to stay in Nashville or play in Philly.

Weber is the best Dman in the league with Suter playing Robin to Weber (batman). Maybe Weber is not as good as everyone thinks without a player like Suter. We shall see but the consensus is that Weber is the best Dman in the league.

The NHL is asking for no bonuses and a term limit of 5 years for contracts. So this type of contract will no longer exist in the future. Even if the league doesn't get every thing they want this type of contract will be a thing of the past. That's why Weber made the right decision to cash in now.

You don't think Minnesota, Edmonton & Colorado bypass Vancouver in three years once the Sedins start losing a step (something they can ill afford to happen given their current shortcoming in that department)?

That's just within the division...

If the compensation is two - 1st rounders, a 2nd and 3rd.

Gillis traded approx. that in the Keith Ballard trade! (1st rounder, Grabner [who was a 1st rounder], Bernier [who was a 1st rounder] ). That's 3 first round picks right there for Keith Ballard. Gillis must have been in the midst of putting together an offer sheet for Weber, right? Surely, Weber is worth more than Keith Ballard, right?

Coyle looks like a pretty sure bet, but so did Mueller.........Granlund still has a lot to prove against men, imo..........Dumba was the wild card in the draft........Minny is banking on him being able to bring that physical aspect to the NHL, but at 5'11, I'm not sold
