Player Discussion Welcome Shea Weber

[Chez Weber]

last season the Habs defense scored 23 goals (Subban 6, Markov 5, Petry 5, Beaulieu 2, Barberio 2, Pateryn 1, Gilbert 1, Dietz 1, Emelin 0, Hanley 0, Ellis 0, Bartley 0, Tinordi 0, Johnston 0, Lernout 0) Weber had 20 goals.

Here's the goal leaders in the NHL for defensemen last year,

Burns 27
Giordano/OEL 21
Weber 20


Subban was tied at 51st in the league.

Yes because the only way a defenseman can contribute to a team is by scoring goals

Weber is waaaaaaay slower than PK.

Shia Weber was -7
PK was +4


And Habs was the worst team in the NHL last season...

PK told the world his job wasn't to score goals.

Big boost for our DCorps.

The only thing Weber has going for him is a better slapshot. I do think that PK's shot accuracy and power has regressed a little bit. Other than that, PK is the better player in all other facets of the game.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Weber is owned 54M and has a cap hit of 7,857,143. He's had 58 goals the past 3 seasons or 19 per year on ave.

He's owed less than that. I believe $41M. His contract was heavily front loaded. Habs save $6M over contract versus PK but add a lot more years.

 

[Shabutie]

No ****ing welcome party for Weber. I hate him already.
My heart is bleeding right now
Bergevin worst than Houle
****ing clown

We need a salt shaker emoticon for HF... I guess this will do

there's another thread where you can ***** about this trade. Can those of us who are happy about this trade talk up Shea in this one?

thx bro

But also without any clauses which makes it easily tradeable when the time comes

Weber + Markov, the slowest first pairing in the league XD

MB has created more work for himself. He needs to find mobility on the first pair now. We don't have that solution internally. Markov-weber should not happen 5 on 5

If the team acquires Fowler like the reporters are saying. That fixes that problem.

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

I feel bad for Weber coming to this clown show. He had it good in Nashville.

Thank you.........it clearly says appreciation thread.

He will be moved to a cap floor team for the last 4 years of his contract.

What I'm curious about is, how does he feel about coming to Montreal? I'd be a lot more happy about this deal if he had a NTC to waive to come here.

 

[Jaynki]

Yeah!

Welcome aboard.

Shea ****ing weber

yahooooo

 

[Tabarouette]

i'm embracing it the best I can.

Your avatar just reminded me of how pretty Weber is.

Your avatar just reminded me of how pretty Weber is.

and his playoff beard is on point

 

[sergejean]

Weber is a fantastic player and will make a great contribution to the Habs. Problem is we traded a better player to get him.

Weber is going to get absolutely devoured by Habs fans because its going to be very hard to separate who he is as a player from what he took away from the fanbase.

This.

 

[sergejean]

Ordinarily I'd be happy to welcome this guy... now I just feel bad for him. He's nowhere near PK Subban and he's going to have a rough, rough ride here. Not his fault but man did we get ripped off here.

Bang on.

 

[LastChancePrice]

Welcome SW! Seriously happy about it!
