My "Parise Vs Weber" proposal from last year might come true
Parise would bring some offensive flair to a team that needs a star forward cause they have a ton of solid d-men in their pipeline. He would be reunited with his good friend Ryan Suter and Weber would kick ass on our blueline.
If ever a move like this were to happen, it would go down at the draft. After the trade would be announced by Bettman, Lou would walk to the podium and select Adam Larsson.
lol Like that has any bearing on whether Boton or any team overpay for Weber. I would love for the avs to trade for him and I would give up anyone not named Stastny, Stewart and Duchene.
In other words, the pieces necessary to make such a deal? Hejduk, Cumiskey and a second doesn't get it done.
4 first rd picks for Weber and David Krejci?????????
Toronto's first - Likely a Top 5
Boston's 1st Likely to 20
Colbourne 1st rd pick 16th overall
Zach Hamill 1st rd pick 8th overall
and
David Krejci 2nd rd pick 64th overall- likely a top centre in the league.
for one defenceman who is a RFA asking for big money who
was a 2nd rd pick 49th overall.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and your serious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe it. Nashville just can't keep their players. We see this happening every year.
And imo, Weber is overrated here on HF. Put him in a bigger hockey market and more people will be aware of his flaws.
Yes, because they lost Suter so easily after those troubles with his free agency contract, and Rinne bolted first chance he got, and Legwand and Erat have been playing somewhere else for so long now...
I do concur that Weber is a tad overrated, though. One would think he was immortal or something.
(And yes, they have the money. They've planned for it.)

Thanks, Howson, for cleaning up MacLean's toxic waste. Welcome, Kekalainen; let's get good things built!

You're bringing up a list of guys that haven'
t left yet, but the fact is they do have money issues in Nashville and lose players as a result.

Management signs guys they identify as their core. You have yet to name anybody that Preds identified as their core and lost. The summer between 06-07-07-08 seasons does not count because we had a lame duck owner. Preds have identified Weber and Suter as part of their core. Unless their demands are ridiculous or they want to leave Nashville they aren't going anywhere much to the dismay of other teams fans.
Toronto would love to be involved in a trade for Weber
Kessel + a minor piece straight up for weber.
OR
Beauchemin+Caputi+Kadri+Any Prospect
I think both are fair, one is an elite but not gamebreaking first line winger signed on a reasonable deal for a RFA defenseman more fitting our style.
The second is more of a quantity as opposed to the first trades quality. Nashville would be aquiring a minute eating defenseman with a solid shot, a physical top6 winger, a bluechip forward prospect, and their choice of a prospect.
I would love to see a top4 consisting of weber, phaneuf, schenn, and aulie.

God, make this come true plz
Article says he wants to go to a winning team and somehow you think that's the Devils?
"Predators captain Shea Weber said he is not focused on his impending restricted free agency this summer.
"It's a place I love. I love it here; I love the guys. (The contract) is not my worry right now," Weber said after Sunday's practice. "I'm worried about winning hockey games and continuing to focus on that."
The veteran defenseman said he didn't think the contract "should come up at all" during the season. "We're focused on what we need to do in here."
Eriksson WILL NOT BE MOVED! A $4.2 mil. cap hit for the next 3 years for a 80 point guy at least is a steal!
Maybe Neal, prospect and a 1st
I didn't say he would be. I was just saying if there was going to be a trade involving Eriksson, a 1st definitely wouldn't need to be added from Dallas.
If he has said he will not re-sign, then there are only a couple of options to try for some value. There is the offer sheet, this offseason, which has some return.
He might be traded, now, in a hockey deal. Or, he could be dealt at the deadline, for an overpayment.
I'd see what the bidding is before I'd make a decision.
