I forget what website it was on, but they had the Suter-Weber pairing as one of the greatest of all time.
A shame Suter walked and then NSH ultimately traded Weber for Subban. Would've been fun to watch that pair as life-long Predators (though the contracts would hurt) -- they're both still playing at a high level even at 35.
Suter, Klein, and Weber in the same draft in 2003 (in that order - just unreal defenseman drafting that year by NSH) + Josi, Ellis, Ekholm, Jones, Girard, Fabbro, and more.
Bad depth at C but passable on the wings and godly at D. Overall okay team
I didn't add UFAs, but could add Granlund, Wilson, and Boyle to that team as well. NSH has historically drafted the center position poorly -- and in recent years, overpaid for center depth.
I still can’t believe GMDP moved Weber for PK. Ouch
PK did a lot for the community and created a lot of new fans in NSH - and we got to the cup finals with that trade so there was some good that came out of it, but I do wish this team had ultimately kept Weber. Ekholm - Weber would be scary to play against.
