It’s a game and a half be patient

Weber might've a career ending injury, No way are you getting a 1st round pick for him.

I think we might, I mean look at the cap penalty the Predators will receive if Weber doesn't retire as a predator. It's not the player that gives the Habs a first, it's the fact that the Predators cannot afford to say no if Weber's career is really over.

Whether Weber retires as a Hab or Predator doesn't matter. The recapture penalty is based on the front loading of the contract.
If Weber retires due to been on LTIR...no recapture penalty.

Rangers accept
Predators and Kraken decline
Sabres probably also decline
