Quoting: CoopsTroops
Nope, that Weber contract is your burden until he retires, then he's Nashville's burden.
6 million left over 4 seasons in Salary after this year
3m next year , 1m for the 3 after that.
The Bottom 15 teams in the league will look at this and if they have cap to spare will explore it.
Case and point PK Subbans horrible play leading to his horrible deal being dumped.
NJD stepped up right away interest in bringing him in.
Weber may be older/slower but unlike PK his game is built around his slap shot which even at his age is Lethal
Im not saying teams will line up to get him or that MTL will make a profit in doing it.
But after this year especially with the last 4 years being subject to Recapture Clause
There will be a lot of teams seeing this as low risk high reward with the only thing they'd lose is Cap not Salary
While getting a household name who can sell Jersey's for teams that struggle to make a Profit
NJD isnt the only one but the most obvious.
CBJ the league's poorest team with the Smallest Market might see value in the money they'd save
Plus re-uniting Weber with Jones could make their PP Lethal
My Point is not every Market is the same
Not every owner can take constant loss's without making moves like this to save money where they can
Fictional Cap means far less to them then making a profit on the season
