[The Stig]

Yea my NHL app just said it too

 

[TheWanderer]

Cool. Probably 2 years at just under 1mil per. 1.6 mil total or something.

 

[GetFocht]

Hopefully he breaks out in Willie's transition style of play.

 

[ddawg1950]

Management just taking it one step at a time. Good depth guy with some PP skills. I'll presume decent cap hit and term.

 

[The Stig]

Good I like Weber. Very good offensive minded guy, perfect for the #7

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I'm thinking 1-year, $850k.

I liked Weber last year; solid depth defenseman who ended up getting a decent amount of ice-time. Thought he was one of the few who was playing like he gave a damn down the stretch, which I liked.

 

[Get North]

He's a very solid 7th defenceman. I thought he played very well last season when he had to step in for injuries. I think 850k-950k is what he'll get for 1 year.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Cool. Liked Weber last year. Good depth guy and I like him on the PP.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Can never have too many defencemen who can step in. As we've learned in the past. Weber can also play on the PP and will push the young guys to compete for a job.

Nice call

He's a really good choice for a #7 defenseman who has a great shot for the PP. Would like to see him slotted on the PP more when he's in the lineup

 

[The Horvatian One]

1 yr 850K one way deal.

 

[Interior Cascadian]

Glad to hear this. Good, low cap hit for what he brings and what he might stand to offer with a little further development.

 

[Fat Tony]

I'm thinking 1-year, $850k.

You win this thread.

Awww yeah.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Fine signing.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Surprised Weber got a raise over his QO.

Assuming Vey signs his QO and makes the team, and Markstrom is sent down to Utica, that leaves $4.9M in cap space to add a forward and a defenseman. Tanev is the defenseman, and assuming the forward is Horvat, that leaves $4.1M in cap space to re-sign Tanev and keep any flexibility in the roster going forward.

Could get tight.

 

[Maccas]

Really happy with this signing, I wanted them to bring back Weber. Looked good on the PP and actually made quite a serviceable forward when called upon.

 

[MS]

Perfect #7 guy, glad he was brought back.

 

[PhilMick]

Awww yeah.

You definitely peeked first.

 

[Steveorama]

Weber and Corrado will compete for the third pairing RD spot, behind Bieksa and Tanev.
Good price, one-year, nice work by Benning so far on the RFA's.
Tanev will be challenging, but I'm sure it will get done.

Not sure we need to add a forward now.

Sedin-Sedin-Vrbata
Burrows-Bonino-Kassian
Higgins-Vey-Hansen
Matthias-Richardson-Dorsett
Sestito

If Horvat actually makes the team, I think you'll see a forward moved out.

Edit: none of this is a comment on the quality of that line-up, just addressing number of forwards.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

You know most NHL teams carry 14 forwards, right?
