Quoting: Poehling
Losing Weber is only good for MTL in any ways you look at it
Not really if he's on LTIR there's no cap hit
It pointless
He only leaves LTIR is the league forces him to retire.
Given they didnt with David Clarkson or Johan Fransen so i dont see why they would with Weber
Plus its in their best interest to let him stay on LTIR to avoid costing a small market expansion team issues
The only Scenario this makes sense is if Weber Retirement was imminent.
Given he's going to have to have the surgery's and take the year off before they'll even know what going on for sure barring something extreme being found out in the next week i just dont see the motivation here when LTIR is our friend
Besides what if like Kucherov after a year off he feels better?
Who wouldnt want our Captain back ?
The man played with 3 friggin injuries because he knew without him MTL was DOA
Weber,Chiarot ,Petry and Edmundson combined for 23-25 minutes on ice while Romanov,Kulak,Gustafsson, and Merril averaged less then 13 minutes
Now your solution is to invest in the 13 minute players lmfao
