JackStraw Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Morganti is just blowing smoke out his you-know-what. The price for trading for Weber will be higher now, what makes anyone think that Homer will pay that price if he wasn't willing to a week ago? Maybe when Weber is well into his 30's the Flyers will bring in another high priced past his prime star, but I'd say Weber is going to spend his prime years right where he is now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris922 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Morganti remains an idiot. Of COURSE he MIGHT end up a Flyer... he MIGHT end up a New York Yankee too. If the Flyers are willing to go trade quality youth for him they may get him. Anybody who follows hockey understands trades happen. But it's pretty arrogant to say it WILL happen just because Holmgren wants it to. If he ends up being right, I would hate being a Flyers fan when we see what it will cost you. I don't see Poile thinking the offer sheet was a friendly moment and coming back without asking a lot in trade... and I mean a LOT. I know it's a business first, but ....

activestick Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Weber is there long term... plain and simpleIt all depends how well the Preds do. If the Preds suck in the next season or two, they won't want to pay that salary anymore. They'll trade him to the Flyers for player/s,pick/s but more importantly cash, to make up for what the Preds will pay him up front in the next season or two.

He does not have a NTC in the contract, so he has no say in where he would go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackStraw Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I heard he asked for a NTC.From what I've heard, it's not up to him. The Preds only had to match the term and money, they did not have to include any NTC or NMC that was in the Flyers offer. According to capgeek, he has no NTC or NMC.http://capgeek.com/players/display.php?id=1042 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
