Thread: Habs

It's actually been a talking point that Arizona has interest in Weber's contract. The real money on it is so much lower than the cap, that they would save a significant amount of money using his contract to hit the floor, rather than just signing guys.

They reportedly tried to acquire it at the deadline and Bettman shut it down because of how ugly things have looked in Arizona already with their cost cutting. Don't think MTL would get a relevant asset for it though, but in theory, it would beneficial to Arizona, Montreal and Weber if that trade happened. Both teams would save some money and Weber would have a significantly better tax situation.
