There is no source on my claim that Shea Weber's 52m in claimed bonuses over four years threatened an organization valued at 150m that was running on debt. Nashville was in contract negotiations too and lost a major asset in Ryan Suter. It is definitely speculation on my part but Weber and his agent knew what they were doing and they almost got it off. I wish they had because maybe it would've meant that Subban stayed a Hab.
Weber could turn out to be a Pronger (hopefully without the catastrophic concussion problems) but he's never shown his ability at the highest level in the playoffs and Pronger is a living legend, Shea Weber is a notch below. We can hope and dream that Shea is worth his monster cap hit (as we hope and dream Price will be) when the team is "ready for contention" but the odds are stacked against him and us as Habs fans. I know I'm speculating but guess what, that's what fans do.
He's also regressed to the point for being not an NHLer at the age of 35. Seabrook and Keith also regressed. They're all around 35 or younger.I meant as soon as he was traded. Everyone said he'd break out on a better team, he didn't. He regressed.
