2012 Offseason

[Chip]

You guys realize that he doesnt have a no trade clause....right?

Nashville should accept the offer, keep him for a year or two, then deal with 29 teams.....not one.

This, Brampton nailed it on the head and it looks like that is what they will do.


"UPDATE: According to our own Scott Burnside, multiple sources have told ESPN.com that they believe the ownership group has "no choice but to breathe deep and match the offer sheet" for Shea Weber. And Burnside suggests (below) the defenseman is ready and willing to spend the rest of his playing days with the Nashville Predators."

Yeah, they "have" to match it, they can't loose Weber and Suter for a few picks.
But the question is, still, can they?
$27 million in less then one year is a whole lot of money for a team who was in money trouble a few years ago.
He gets the bonuses even if there's a lockout.
