Post-Game Talk: Yotes 0 @ Nucks 5 | Salo.... errrr Weber edition

[thepuckmonster]

after last night's game, who here is now even more upset we could very well lose weber because of the **** sbisa and dorsett contracts?

ugh, just hearing eddie talk about how hard weber's shot is made it sting even more.

Maybe worry about it when it happens.

if only life were that simple

pretty sure everyone has worried about something that might happen

Anxiety isn't good for you.

I think Weber's future here was decided when we traded Forsling for Clendening.

Edler - Tanev
Hamhuis - Bieksa
Sbisa - Clendening

Clendening will require waivers next year so I think he's gonna stick.

I don't think Weber will want to stay in town as a 7-8 Dman.

I even worry that I might worry about things that might happen!

Will Corrado require waivers next season? If not, Clendening can be our #7. Doubt Stanton won't get offers to be in a bottom pairing somewhere.

Those contracts wouldn't be the reason anyway (and I don't like them, obviously, as I've made clear). Clendening has to be on the roster next year and I don't see them sitting him in the press box for maybe 70 games, as Willie doesn't play depth defensemen unless there's an injury.

If the team wants to keep Weber, it's really a matter of whether they're willing to move Bieksa out to make room for him. That would allow Weber to play on the 2nd pairing with Hamhuis and Clendening/Corrado to fight out/share the right side spot with Sbisa on the third pairing.

That would be my preference, as Weber has proven himself to be a capable #4 IMO. Some may disagree. I've been high on Weber since he was acquired, so I may be a bit biased

I've come around on Weber this season. I hope they hang onto him but at the very least some other team should have noticed how far he has come and give up something decent for him. RFA... right?

I'm hoping we trade Weber while his value is high. We need some more picks this year and I think a team will give up something solid for him.

Or just sign Weber and have Clendening as our #7? We all know we're going to run into injuries on our defense, that much is guaranteed.

RFA with arbitration rights. I imagine he probably gets 2-2.5 a year.

Definitely have to keep his rights -- I agree.

Looks like conversation around the game is done.

Discussion on Weber's contract status can go to his Player Discussion thread.

Closed.
