Good value

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Wow - way better deal than I expected. Thumbs up on that hit and term.

 

[BerSTUzzi]

So we are going young then with clendening and corrado. Interesting, looks to me like a rebuild without the announcement.

 

[m9]

Price is fine, but I didn't want him back.

 

[tantalum]

Reasonable deal (unlike others I'm not convinced he had a big arbitration pay day lined up if he was qualified).

Still the bottom 4-7 is horrensous.

 

[Tim Calhoun]

Excellent news. Though I would have prefered a long-term contract even if it meant a much bigger dollar amount.

He is the most underrated player in the Canucks, and has a lot of untapped potential still.

 

[Nuckles]

Only 1/5 of the price of that other Weber guy. What a bargain!

This makes me think we won't be targeting any of the higher-end d-men in free agency. No more room on the right side with Tanev, Weber, Corrado, and Clendening.

Still the bottom 4-7 is horrensous.

Horrensously bad.

 

[Drop the Sopel]

Like I said all along, you don't even think about criticizing the decision to not qualify Weber until we see how it plays out.

This is why. Terrific signing - handled perfectly by Benning. Weber got 50% less than I was expecting.

 

[DCantheDDad]

Great signing value if true. Man, our defence is going to suck hard next year.

 

[Tim McCracken]

Terrible. Soft as butter but a warm body if all they want to do is secure a bottom 5 pick next year which is what they should be doing.

 

[m9]

Time to go back to the threads from late in the regular season when people thought Weber would get 3 or 4 million per year.

 

[pahlsson]

good signing if true

was worried they might force clendening on the roster

 

[Cupless44]

Price is fine, but I didn't want him back.

Me neither.

 

[VanCanucks53]

Great news. Good price too.

 

[Tim Calhoun]

Edler - Tanev
Hamhuis - Weber
Sbisa - Corrado/Clendening

Still desperately need another LH defender. Stanton would have been nice.

 

[Canucks LB]

Solid value, I expected 2.5m

 

[Jack Tripper]

mike weber???

i'm ron burgandy???

 

[kanucks25]

Nice. Cheaper than I thought it'd be and only one year so he doesn't get in the way if a young guy makes the jump next year.

 

[Craz1bo1]

Apparently it's Mike Weber, not Yannick Weber

 

[Domecile]

1 year is what makes this deal. Good FA group in 2016 where we can sign better.

 

[Tobi Wan Kenobi]

Which Weber lol??

 

[Tim Calhoun]

what the ****

 

[luongo321]

I heard it was Mike Weber on tsn.

I hope he keeps the #6. Must keep the Weber dream alive.

edit: tsn just corrected themselves. hahaha.
