Surprised I didn't see a thread about weaver on the main boards, so thought i'd make one...
I just saw on RDS this morning, that Weaver has not been made an offer to yet, and his agent has no meetings scheduled with Bergevin before july 1st and therefore Weaver is expected to sign elsewhere.
Anyone else surprised by this? I thought after the way everyone thought the played great in the playoffs and down the stretch and for a cheap price at that, he would be a definately re-sign with the Habs.
Do you still think/expect a deal gets done with Montreal? Are you ok with him leaving if not, or disappointed?
Personally - I like Weaver and would have loved to see him stay. Can't say im too horribly upset if he does leave though, i don't feel as though he's as important as say Markov, who i'm glad we did sign.
Thoughts?
I think it has everything to do with the bare UFA market on defense and nothing to do with the Habs not wanting him back.
In a normal year he'd be back on a 1 year 1.5-2 mil or 2 year 3-3.5 mil deal. Given the lack of quality UFA d-men he might get 2-3 years at 2+ AAV on the market.
