Still think the Preds match it.I hope he doesn't, but there's really no reason Nashville shouldn't match.I'd throw Voracek their way if that would change their mind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyS Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Why would Nashville NOT just match the offer?I think that this ends up being a trade. Poile will blink.Now I just hope that there isn't a lockout.Our defense would be unbelievable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyS Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Do you really think Homer would have done this if he thought Poile would match? I don't.My hunch is that a trade gets done. (I'd rather give up the picks, though.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Let's not get too excited just yet...although its pretty effing hard not to.It's obvious the Flyers won't to move some assets and to me one or few i believe aren't even signed yet...and they are all in...forcing Poile's hand.

jkearse123 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Let's not get too excited just yet...although its pretty effing hard not to.I read this on HFboards, but this is a win-win for us"As has been stated, we either get Weber our we prevent any rivals from getting him. This is actually a brilliant move. Plus, since we tend to do well every year, maybe some of those picks will mean less (and Homer then cannot trade our 2nds!!!)" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkearse123 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Darren Dreger @DarrenDregerIts going to be fascinating to see financial terms of Weber's offer sheet. Hearing in one calendar year, he could make $26 mil.Expand Reply Retweet Favorite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamCanadian Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 If Nashville doesn't match this turns the Flyers D from a point of concern to easily one of the top 3 defensive groups in the NHL.Does this officially make the Flyers Nashville east if they land him?

FlyersFan4Life Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) my jaw has dropped. i get a text from my cousin waking my butt up and holy mama jam ma. i see it this way Weber get a match from preds he can say no and hold out. if i am Weber i look at the preds say hey you let suter walk and makes me think about the you the preds willingness to win.

jkearse123 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Dustin Leed @D_LEEDConsidering Nashville was going through trade scenarios, I wonder if Holmgren thought "Us, or Nashville" and worked out offer sheet...Dustin Leed @D_LEEDSo much goes into these situations it makes them really intriguing. It also means, the Preds were LIKELY shopping Weber /entertaining offers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terp Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 The Flyers might have made an offer Nashville will have trouble matching. If that's the case, look for Nashville, and the league, to be very pissed about the rich team picking on the poor team and putting a lot of pressure on the Flyers to take back the picks and give roster players. I'd like to see the Flyers say no to that, especially since the Preds are sure to want Cooter, Simmonds, Voracek and what have you; in short, a package worth way more than 4 late first round picks. No thanks to that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyersFan4Life Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 i just had a wet dream. Pronger comes back for 1 more season. holy crap what D we would havePRONGER/WEBERMEZ,SCHENNKIMMO/COBYGROSSMAN/GUTS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terp Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Upon further reflection and light reading.....could the Preds match & trade? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyersFan4Life Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Upon further reflection and light reading.....could the Preds match & trade?no if the preds match they cannot trade him for 365 days. If he gets traded after this season and does not want to be a pred for life, basically the preds will would have to pay him 25million for one last season as a pred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hf101 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Truely amazing. Never a dull day in Flyer Land. According to reports:The report also states that theFlyershave waited past "several deadlines" as the Predators have attempted to trade Weber. Several teams were reportedly in on those trades, but as Dreger reports, "the Flyers grew tired of waiting."That's sort of bad ass, isn't it? Homer has simply forced the hand of Preds general manager David Poile. He now has seven days to match the offer. If Nashville chooses not to match?Well, then the Flyers would then have Weber, and they would have to give up draft picks.Depending on the exact figures, the cap hit might be under $6,728,781 (which typically means a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round pick) or between $6,728,781 and $8,410,976 (which typically means two 1sts, a 2nd, and a 3rd). However, this is misleading; the compensation for long deals is not based on cap hit, but on one-fifth of the total value of the contract. For a package of over $100 million, that means it would be treated as a $20 million/year offer, which is obviously in the top group and would cost the Flyers their first round pick in each of the next four years. Hopefully everyone involved realized this.Here are the compensation ranges:$1,110,249 or below - No CompensationOver $1,110,249 to $1,682,194 - 3rd round pickOver $1,682,194 to $3,364,391 - 2nd round pickOver $3,364,391 to $5,046,585 - 1st round pick, 3rdOver $5,046,585 to $6,728,781 - 1st round pick, 2nd, 3rdOver $6,728,781 To $8,410,976 - Two 1st Round Picks, 2nd, 3rdOver $8,410,976 - Four 1st Round PicksI fully expect Nashville to match the offersheet. What a disaster for their Franchise if they don't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamo 47 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I was ecstatic when I saw the report but rapidly downgraded to cautiosly optimistic. This will be an agonizing 7 days waiting to see if the Preds will match. If we get Weber it does mean a couple things. I think that it almost 100% means that Pronger will be done (although I salivate with the vision of a healthy Pronger and Weber on the blueline)I don't recall all the rules associated with RFA Offers but is it possible that the Predators could decline to match the offer and trade Weber to the Flyers in exchange for roster players? If that is the case I almost wonder now if that means the Schenn brothers would go to Nashville? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarsippius Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I fully expect Nashville to match the offersheet. What a disaster for their Franchise if they don't!Ya I was excited for about five minutes, but then I realized Poile has to match this.

hf101 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Ya I was excited for about five minutes, but then I realized Poile has to match this.Yep. They have to have the money. I just think Holmgren didn't want Weber to go to anyone other team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
