God, I hope they match this and keep bidding it up. I want to see each team cripple themselves for a long long time. Also, Holmgren isn't making any friends with this move is he?

[Guest Crymson]

Well, this puts Weber out of our reach.

f*** friends! kenny isnt making his team better with this off season is he?

Preds will match this.......idk how this works but if they match doesn't he automatically become a pred for 14 years then!?!?!? or can more offer sheets be submitted even after they match?

There's a lot of ways to make your team better without sending offer sheets to RFA's. I'm not impressed with Kenny's offseason, but I don't blame him for this.

Nashville was working on a trade and its believed several deadlines passed before Flyers grew tired of waiting. Weber signed offer sheet.

I agree, Weber is dumb for not agreeing to a one year deal unless he wants to be stuck in Nashville for life. Detroit should have just offered him ten Million for one year, why not?

what I was really hoping would happen was another team signed him to a silly one year deal and he wouldnt resign, and then would sign with the wings. f*** giving away picks....

our picks will be high in the draft very soon, unless a new development occurs.

or more. f*** it.

Because if somebody did that to us with any of our good young talent we'd want their heads?

The Predators would assuredly have matched that offer, and that would have been that. This assumes that Weber would have signed it at all, of course, and I find that unlikely given that the next CBA will almost certainly put up limits on contract length.

Yes, if the Preds match, it becomes a contract with them. If not, it's a contract with Philly. Either way, it means Weber will likely never be a UFA, assuming the contract is approved by the league.

[Guest Crymson]

Well, let the whining begin.

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[1980s24 12]

I would rarther ship Emmerton and Kindl for Anton Volchenkov.

[jroc86 90]

f*** me. Well, lets hope he goes to Philly and Nashvilles 4 first rounders bust hard. I dont blame Holland for anything up to this point - but man, this crushes the pipedream.

It just did with your post.

Stay on topic please.

Can't believe that Weber signed this. He really must only care about the pay day because locking yourself into a contract like this is a life sentence unless the team you sign with is really savvy. Neither the Preds nor the Flyers are really savvy.

And given the fact that it's now out there that the Preds & Flyers were working on a trade already, I have serious doubts that they'll match. But who knows, maybe Poile gets pissed off that Holmgren basically did an end-around on him with the offer sheet & matches simply out of spite.

As it stands today the Flyers future looks a lot brighter than the wings, regardless of Weber
