The problem with taking players to arbitration is the bad feelings that can arise out of them.....My bet is that Weber was none too pleased about Poile using Yandle and Byfuglien as comparible players....no offense to Keith Yandle, a very good defenseman, but nowhere near the player that Shea Weber is. And Dustin Byfuglien? Please. It's because of situations like this that management and players do their best to reach an agreement before the hearing.
