I'm thinking that might be doing Philly a favour. They have a bit of a logjam in the top 6 right now with Briere, Giroux, Hartnell, Schenn, Simmonds, Couturier, Read, and Voracek. Losing Voracek for a 1st and a 3rd wouldn't be terrible. They can possibly do better than that on the trade front, but I don't know that they'd match at this point.

If this is still the correct compensation, then I'd offer $3.134M max, which would only cost a 2nd round pick, for a 45-50 point forward. If Philly matches, so be it. Then they are stuck with a $3M+ bottom 6 forward they can't trade for at least one year, and prevents them from making other moves (i.e. Doan, a defenceman). Also takes away a bargaining chip in any possible trade offers to acquire a defenceman now that they lost out on Weber.

$1,034,249 annual cap hit or less: No compensation
$1,034,249 — $1,567,043: Third-round pick
$1,567,043 — $3,134,088: Second-round pick
$3,134,088 — $4,701,131: First and third-round pick
$4,701,131 — $6,268,175: First, second and third-round pick
$6,268,175 — $7,835,219: Two first-round picks, a second and third
$7,835,219 and higher: Four first-round picks

Yeah, I believe that is a condition of an offer sheet - they can't be part of the offer sheet. Word was that if the Preds did not match, Philly would put one in place after via an amendment.

But, now that the Preds have matched, they have the contract without an NMC/NTC. Bonus for them.

Seriously. They pay $14mil or whatever he's getting for this year, they can do whatever they want and he can suck it up. It's a shame Columbus doesn't have enough to trade.

Ha. That works, except he probably wouldn't sign the sheet.

Just got told by 1 NHL Exec it looks like Preds will match Weber offer sheet. "Unless,Flyers are prepared to make a great trade"#doubtful

Worst news ever for Philly!

For Philly or Weber?



Philly loses nothing if they match.

Weber has to go back into that room... with a $110M contract... bah... Weber wins no matter what.

True.

I meant for Philly though. That's not a good enough defence at all, they're gonna be eaten alive with those guys on the backend and Bryzgalov in net.

Nashville's been legit for some time.

Ahaha.

I'd love to see that, but I doubt they have any money left.

It's not even about getting the other team's player at this point. It's just about Diddle-ing with their Dung.
