I never said he was selfish, I said he wanted out of Nashville and he forced their hand by putting them in corner.Took a couple days but I'm glad we cleared that up, your first post stated the complete opposite. It either ridiculously unbiased against Weber or straight trolling.
1- He signed with a different team --- Check on wanting out.
2- There was no room for Nashville to negotiate --- Check on forcing their hand.
You've been obtuse about this discussion since the beginning.
Flyers’ Shea Weber offer sheet fallout, five years later
'' Weber signed an offer sheet that was specifically designed to torpedo any match from the Predators.
If the Predators matched, they would have been on the hook for $27 million for Weber, with $26 million of it guaranteed through a lockout.''
“To put that in perspective, 16.5 percent of Nashville’s entire franchise net worth ($163M as valuated by Forbes Magazine in 2011) would be paid out in less than a calendar year by the small-market team.”
''The notion that the Predators would match this was, at the time, a long-shot''
I didn't think I had to quote an article, I mean, I expected logic and common sense to prevail here.
That's about the only thing I was wrong about.
Ya, Weber says he knew Preds would match, and that's why he sent out fillers to see what team would be interested in getting him, and worked on a deal that would be incredibly difficult for Nashville to match. Why???..For the fun of it probably?
Again, you've been fishing since the beginning.
