If it is really the case, we know that Bettman hates Canadian based teams, and Habs, the most. He was so pissed off that Canadiens reached the SC Finals last season that he did not even thank them is the last post game speech before handing the Cup to TB.According to Steve Dangle, Montreal and Arizona had a Weber trade agreed upon, but NHL nixed it because of the potential for bad "PR".
Yet somehow Datsyuk, Hossa contracts were perfectly ok.
Also, before last night's Sens game, it was reported that Ottawa was close to sending Colin White to Montreal, but Habs decided against it at last moment. My guess is there was something around White for Weber. I can see how that works for ole cheapo Melnyk.
During their TD press conference, Hughes said they came extremely close to trading Weber, multiple teams were interested, and they will revisit things post-season.
