Habs don't do that.. maybe Weber 1 for 1

Why would the Wild do that?

It's for cap space. It's complicated. All wild fans pretty much have said they would do that

Yeah it doesn't work, it doesn't help with cap space, and most Wild fans I've seen have understood that there's no reason for the Wild to acquire Weber.

You don't know about cap space and ltir, then, lol.

I was just asking if they would sign him. The asking price for Mcbain is a second so if chariot gets a 2 second in his trade i would trade that second round but was just asking around

Bet he only wants to sign with NYR or Boston

You need to understand Weber 7.8M counts during the summer and can only be placed on LTIR at the beginning of the year so they need to be cap compliant before putting Weber on LTIR (I think 😅)

1. A lot of feedback to our podcast bit about Shea Weber’s contract and whether or not it would make sense for Minnesota. The answer, according to several capologists consulted for this blog, is no — and don’t expect the Wild to do it. “You do not want to be in long-term injury, over the cap, for years and years,” one said. “There’s nothing good about that.” It prevents you from accruing space, robs you of flexibility. (I didn’t realize you can’t trade for a player on LTIR without activating him first. That would be problematic for most.) There is also the question of whether or not Minnesota could put together a full roster before putting Weber’s contract on long-term at the start of the season. So, what seemed like a creative idea was anything but that.

Maybe. I'd wait until summer for that chance though. Seems like he's not willing to sign with Wild so I wouldn't bother spending much on him. Eventually Wild is forced to lower their asking price if no one is willing to pay for a maybe.

We've apparently gotten calls about him from 2/3 of the league. We're letting his advisor talk to all the teams and figure out where he'd be willing to sign so he can give Guerin a list of teams to negotiate with. There definitely will be suitors willing to pay that price.
