Weber will be the face of the franchise. We have never really had one per se and he is the exact guy that is perfect for the role. Give Weber, Trotz, Poile and the owners some credit here for all that they've accomplished and know about one another. It speaks highly of Weber to be named the captain of a franchise that has usually hung the C on only veterans.

$8M is the most I've seen handed out in the cap era, and that went to Timonen of all people in 07-08 and 08-09. Yeah I know it was Philly, but still.
