SHEA WEBER has signed offer sheet with PHI - Update - Preds match offer sheet

[Bizzle McDizzle]

Can someone tell me how the heck they'd meet the salary floor if they DON'T sign him?

maybe thats what Doan and Semin are waiting on

wait till Weber goes to Philly than cash in on a team that needs to spend lots of money fast

For 10 million, Semin will change position to defense I bet.

 

[flyersfan4706]

They can have Jodi Shelley for free. It's a start.

Ill throw in Lilja, Sestito, and Rinaldo as well.

 

[flyersfan4706]

Also, lol

We're talking about a team that could lose Ryan Suter & Shea Weber in the same offseason.

The two happiest UFA's on the market right now should be Carlo Colaiacovo & Michal Rozsival. Nashville is going to need help on D.

Why does everyone keep saying this? Poile couldn't force Weber to sign just he couldn't with Suter. Oh wait... he can now. :P

Weber was seeking a 3 year 7.5 mill deal per last july and poile instead took him to arbitration

Poile shit the bed

Like I said, Semin would play D for 10 Mil if Nashville needs to get to the floor

he won't play it well, but he'll play it.

I agree. Years from now we'll look back on this as a seminal post.

"Meanwhile, a look at the Predators' upcoming roster decision reveals a huge budgetary mess looming if they do end up matching the Weber offer sheet. As of now, Nashville only has 18 contracted NHL-level players signed for 2012-13. Next summer, the Predators currently stand to have seven RFAs -- some of whom may be in line for significant raises -- and five UFAs."


Look like Poile or his successor has quite the mess to clean up next year too...

..and I wouldn't like it much, but I could live with this part -

* Nashville keeps the 2013 pick, but immediately returns the other three to Philadelphia to receive Jakub Voracek, Andrej Meszaros, and a choice of Marc-Andre Bourdon or Erik Gustafsson in exchange.

I'd REALLY like it if we could keep the 2013 one and give on of the other ones up instead. Do you think they'd go for that if we threw in Shelley too?

 

[TOX1]

lol Um.....no.

I wouldn't shed a tear if they traded Breire instead of Jake though...

 

[dash]

I'm surprised Tox isn't on the send Hartnell back to Nashville wagon...

Did you say Poile will be in San Jose and DWil in Nashville? I like that.....I agree to those terms.
