It would appear Mr. Weber is to be a RFA at the end of this contract. Well now, that could put Nashville in a dilly of a pickle capwise..wait a second. They have the least amount committed and likely will offer him an obscene amount of money for his services.

I really could see Weber moving to another team in the middle of the year. Maybe Nashville will try to trade him instead of losing him to another team for nothing at the end of the season.

Potential for the discussions involving the new CBA to get ugly soon since the owners laid down the hammer in their first proposal.
Some of the demands include: * 19% decrease in the player's side of revenue sharing which drops their overall amount from the current 57% to the proposed 46% for the players-owners split. * Contracts no longer than 5 years anymore. * Players must earn 10 years of career time before they can apply for unrestricted free agent status regardless of their age. * No more signing bonuses * No more scaled yearly salaries where the back-end is more wealthy than the front-end. Union already said they will be willing to play into part of next season without a CBA while the owners made no guarantees. http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/81...-big-givebacks Last edited by Emperor Smeat; 07-14-2012 at 04:37 PM. |

Ugh, this is becoming a tradition. They need a deal hammered out that will be in place for years. Trying to get more fans in America while having a lockout three times in 16 years is not going to work well for them.

I would be surprised if Nashville didn't match. pretty smart of Philly, it mens that it is either Nashville or Philadelphia that gets him. Takes all other teams out of the process.

Isn't he a RFA? That means Nashville can still match the offer and keep him if they wanted to.
And even so, it's the Flyers, he'll be traded in 3 years. The Flyers, signing people to long term contracts, then trading them in 3 years since 2011. |

But since it's Philadelphia we're talking about, the draft picks would suck anyway because they always end up near the top. I think that four draft picks that end up being 20th or over could be worth it for Weber.

Either way, Nashville could get screwed imo. They'll have Weber eating up cap space for 14 years, assuming they don't trade him, if they match. Plus, if the next four years are weak draft class's, they are screwed there too.

Wow....real original comment here, F.A. Seems to be the only one in your nearly empty bag of tricks, huh? =P
Anyhoop...how about someone here slipping me an over-under on long you guys think it'll take for Gary to take out his gun and force Fehr to blow his wrinkled 60-year old prick? =P Only thing Gary wants to do is continually blow his seed all over the NHL like the league is his own personal whore, like Gary Fairy has always lusted for in his own fucked-up career. Gary's not a real man at all. He's a moronic fucking pussy with no god damn courage. :foc: |

Although it may not appear to be much, this type of deal may greatly benefit Columbus in the future. Nash, as great a player as he is, is not worth 7.8 million dollars per season. |

Nash puts up the same numbers as Thomas Vanek...Would you trade what the rangers did for him?
NOPE. Rangers GM bought into the hype. And traded a GOOD NHL Forward, a Good Young NHL Forward, a Great Defensive prospect and a first. Good value for columbus. Now the trick is landing on a few draft picks. |

Bettman says NHL will lock out players if no new CBA deal in place by Sept. 15
Thirty-seven days. That's how much time remains for the NHL and its players' association to bridge a wide gap in collective bargaining negotiations or face another lockout. Commissioner Gary Bettman made it clear during Thursday's bargaining session in New York that the league is prepared to lock out its players when the current agreement expires Sept. 15.

So the players gave their counter-proposal and they've made some concessions, that has ownership surprised. This is a good sign, that the 2 sides will work together and get something done.

No matter how much money the players end up keeping, I really hope that the NHL will successfully include the 5 year limit on contracts.
No more of these grand 15 year deals that are front loaded in order to circumvent the cap hit. Whatever the player is earning in a given season, must be the cap hit for that given season. I do hope that the cap is successfully lowered. It's crazy how much the cap ceiling has increased since it first came into effect. Hopefully the NHL can avoid losing another season. If it happens again, can we expect a lockout every time the CBA ends? |

Pretty much. I love hockey but I really am getting sick of this to the point I don't want to watch anymore.
They need the available to abolish one contract per team ala buyout but half cost or something for twice as many years as the contract or something that could rid a team of a Gomez contract. |
