Flyers sign RFA Shea Weber to offer sheet

[mightysimi]

I think he is one of the top 2 d men in the league. Huge deal with possibly 4 1st round picks going the other way.

Nashville tells Philly thanks for negotiating the deal for us and matches but waits until the last day to do it.

[SkateZilla]

Nashville is at 24mill, they have plenty of cap space to match.

and here comes the lockout....

If the NHL really does have another work stoppage how in the hell does Betman keep his job?

I don't know how Bettman kept his job after the first lockout and his complete inability to get an appropriate TV contract ever since.

Does anybody know if another team can come in and sign him to another offer sheet or is it just one team?

[TheGhostofJimKelly]

Once the offer sheet has been signed, a team cannot come it and trump it.

It's a catch 22 for the Preds. It's a huge contract. One which they would probably never negotiate on their own. Or risk alienating their fan base by losing their franchise corner stone right after losing Suter.

The difference being that Weber will actually play up to his contract.

[PTI]

Predators match the contract, Weber stays!

[mightysimi]

didn't think they had it in them.

Season looks to be a huge question now, shame.
