Rumor: Weber could miss whole 2021-22 season

[Steve Shutt]

Just curious if Weber is feeling good enough to play next season (22-23) do you think he comes back for his 3M salary or still ends up retiring? His salary goes down to 1M for 2023-24, 2024-25, and 2025-26 which I doubt motivates him to play

I don’t think we’ll see Weber play again:

 

[Habs13]

Weber isn't coming back.

 

[Scriptor]

At his age, with the time off already, even if he tried to come back for the playoffs next year, it would be a failed return, IMHO.

So long and thanks for all the fish, Shea...

He gets his salary anyway, even if injured.

his insurance would not cover all of it, but usually 70%. He won't be returning pop bottles or anything to make ends meet. If he retirees, Nashville is on the hook for the rest of his cap, right?

Some other poster told me they are 100% insured? . Hard to know the truth

 

[Habs Halifax]

I think Weber has one more LTIR year ($3M) and the Habs hire him to join our development team after that season where his salary drops to $1M and he can get another contract in management. Might not be $1M but it opens the door for him to join management and grow. Something to keep an eye on moving forward in time.

not sure you would any insurance to give you that lol, that would be amazing

 

[BLONG7]

Could The Man Mountain become the D coach as early as next year?

 

[ottawa]

I'm guessing he's done for the season

Insurance reimburses the team, not the player. NHL contracts are fully 100% guaranteed, unless he decides to retire or his contract is terminated for some reason the Canadiens will be paying Weber every dime of the ~9M remaining on his contract.

If insurance only covers 70% fairly certain the Habs pay the rest

He's done for his career

 

[Habs13]

I can't say who told me, but he isn't ever playing again.

The Canadiens are obligated to pay Shea Weber every single dollar of his currently active NHL contract. The team pays Weber every single dollar that he's owed, and then the team may be reimbursed by an insurance policy (an insurance policy held by the team, not by Weber) for some percentage of that value.

Every NHL team is obligated to pay every single dollar of every active NHL contract, whether the player is injured or not. The only thing insurance impacts is if the team is reimbursed for some portion of the cost by an insurer or not. It does not matter for the player, they receive 100% of the value of their paycheque from the team no matter what.

That's what i thought, thankyou

The usual access point of yet another rabbit hole.

Probably Josh Gorges, played with Webs in Kelowna. Did you know Josh was the captain of the Kelowna Rockets? Did you know Petry's dad played professional baseball?

...totally was Josh Gorges!

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Can you bring a player on LTIR as a coach?

 

[Fish on The Sand]

Can you bring a player on LTIR as a coach?

Didn't we do that with Komisarek once?

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Can you bring a player on LTIR as a coach?

I think Pronger was LTIR and in management at same time if I recall.

I'd like Weber to stay on for sure.

We've had some interesting players pass through montreal who should have open invitation to return in some capacity, Weber is one of them.

Busting out the hits.

Why’s the thread heading still a rumour? Is it only confirmed once the 82 games have been played?
