Well here we are folks.
The "all in" deal that shipped out Subban for Weber failed and we are now left picking up the peices.
Weber just turned 32 years old and Father Time will continue to regress.
He had an OK season with 40 some odd points, which was helped by early season PP success. In 5 on 5 situations he was pretty average. However, frankly we need him to get more than 40 points to justify his contract and we definitely need him to not have consecutive playoff games with 0 shots. With our scoring issue we simply can't have a player that is becoming more and more a stay at home PP specialist (keep in mind how bad our PP was at the end of the season) taking up all this cap room. We need offence and it's probably not gonna come from him.
So in a nutshell - his cap hit is a pretty big issue for this team and it will get worse as each year goes by.
So what do we do? As we learned from the Clarkson situation terrible contracts can be moved and Weber is light years better than Clarkson.
Any thoughts how we can move him and which team might be interested?
