I think they pretty much half to match, otherwise it's like starting from scratch...

Nashville was working on a trade and its believed several deadlines passed before Flyers grew tired of waiting. Weber signed offer sheet.

I'm told a number of teams were in on a possible Shea Weber trade. If Preds don't match, they receive 4- 1st round picks as compensation.

That's my thought too, they have to match.

In fact I think that may be Holmgren's plan; get Nashville to match crazy offer sheet, then sign Sutter because the Preds can't afford him...

Four 1st round picks, but those 1st round picks are likely to be in the 20s...If Nashville has the money, they have to match.

 

[quoipourquoi]

God damn, defensemen get overpaid...

If you meant Suter-he signed with Wild.

[Cmon_WTF]

Meh, Nashville will match. They'll keep Weber for next season then trade him after July 1st to the highest bidder.

is this for average salary or full contract. if average salary its $7.9 and change. so it would be 2 first round picks as you say. that is very little for a team with as much youth as Philly has to give up. too bad their goalie may be an achilies heal
