If Weber is so great why would Montreal want to trade him? This is always the funniest part of these threads to me. A fan makes a trade sending some player wherever, and then the fans of that team will argue till they are blue in the face how awesome this player they are giving up is and how poor the player they get in return is. If that's the case, why are you making the trade.

I don't like or want Weber and his contract. If he had 2 years left maybe but 8 or whatever it is is 100% a anchor contract. No thanks.

The risk was in signing the contract, more than in trading it. Biggest contract in Nasville hockey history. Kept the team on the map. WIthout that signing, they'd have had neither Weber nor Subban for their run to the Finals a couple years ago, and I don't think they'd have gotten there.

Even with Weber, Nashville had typically operated with an "internal cap," meaning they couldn't afford to spend up to the cap because they didn't have enough fans. Now they have enough fans to spend up to the cap, and they still have a GM who has proven he can win without doing so. 24M in cap hit over how many years? If it's all at once, it might force them to tank a bit. Otherwise, seems like they made the right move in signing Weber, compared to not signing him, not getting to trade him for Subban, not making the finals, and still staying 10M below the cap every year in case nobody in Tennessee bought ice hockey tickets.

Lol I create the post and said I wouldnt do it, it was just to see the Leafs being decent for once, Weber > Nylander not even close. Weber Elite shutdown Dman with 16 points ( 6 goals ) hello

Yes everything is alright, it's just MTL fans, ok almost every fans of any teams doesnt know if Weber retires before the end of is contract, NSH are the one who'll pay for the recapture penalty

Not all of it, but most of it. Florida is paying a little bit for Luongo I believe

Go look yourself, MTL are paying almost nothing and NSH are paying alot

So this is just a really sad attempt at being a troll? Because anyone in their right mind would say no to trading a high value 23 year old offensive player with an extremely high ceiling for 34 year under contract for just under 8 million for the next 8 years. That is an all around terrible idea and anyone that isn't stupid would understand that. My guess is you also agree with that but you won't admit it because now you trapped yourself into saying this is a slam dunk win for TO which it isn't.

Almost nothing isn't nothing.

Almost nothing isn't nothing.

you are **** or what ? Is Toronto better with Weber this year and next with Weber or Nylander ? Yes Weber, no ones care about the contract, MTL just wont trade their captain and Toronto wont take that contract

Did you look or you are too much stupid ?

because you are 100% stupid 2022-2023 MTL : 215K NSH : 6.14M 2023-2024 MTL : None NSH : 8.19M 2024-2025 MTL : None NSH : 12.29M 2025-2026 MTL : None NSH : 24.57M

Actually, there were a lot of Habs fans going on in a hockey forum that I frequent suggesting Nylander for Weber one for one the past few days. I don't want any part of it. He is a good defender but too old and too slow now. Hard pass from the Leafs on this one.

Damn. That's a rough one as a Habs fan, I think Nylander would improve our offense significantly but at the same time, I really like Weber. Cody Ceci is garbage tho, I would rather keep Kinkaid than acquiring Ceci.

Habs are not trading their captain for Nylander who makes 7M. Weber, one of the premier shutdown defensemen in the game has 1 less point than Nylander who is a one-dimensional offensive player. Bergevin has a good laugh when he sees that on his phone. He then sees you want to give us Cody Ceci too . The Habs are not going to be the team to help you with your goaltending issues. If you wanted Kinkaid you should've signed him in the off-season.
