First, There is zero chance in MTL trading Weber unless its a lateral/upgrade on D or for a legit #1C... Doing so means that Bergevin is basically signing his own pick slip.
Second, Weber is a #1 D (for now) and will be a Top pairing guy for at least another 3-4 years with the right partner (barring injury of course). Not that MTL/TOR deal would ever happen, but if your moving him for prospects, you better believe the starting price would be Liljegrin.
Lastly, Everyone seems to complain about the length of his contract as if it is a major burden to Montreal... but few people recognize that his contract holds value in the final years if there is even a chance he might retire before 40. In other words, I wonder what Nashville would give up in order to put Weber on LTIR instead of facing an 8Mx3, 12Mx2 or even 24Mx1 cap hit.
