Weber Drouin out and Duchene Risto in for Habs 2021-22

nashville probably adds to that deal. if the habs get duchene it probably makes sense to let danault walk

Habs fans might not like Weber's contract..and even his play at times, but Duchene seems to be real bad long term value.

This whole Weber back to Nashville thing really depends on talks with Weber. If he is retiring when his contract is 1M a year (I think if he continues to decline than I think he will want to also), its better off to keep Weber for those two more years. He's not been great but people are exaggerating how bad he has been. I would rather have another 2 years of Weber even if he is clearly starting to decline a little than another 5 years of Duchene. Plus If Weber does retire, Nashville will still have to acquire him from the Habs and place him on LTIR.

If Weber wants to play out his contract no matter what, because of pride or whatever, than get Duchene over here ASAP! I simply don't think Weber will though. He's put his body through hell and back and playing through 3 more years at the end of his career for 1M a season seems irrational. Its not like he'll be winning a cup with the Habs any time soon either so might as well call it when the pay doesn't justify the toll the body takes playing hockey anymore.
