Possible info./intel. that it won’t dissuade Seattle. Weber will have trade value at the deadline.why protect him after they manufactured all that theatre to dissuade Seattle?

I bet he isn't.We’ll know later today but I expect Weber to be protected.
Yeah I said similar when it was announced but he won't be back early.I think there's at least a 50% chance that this "Weber is done" story that ONLY Renaud Lavoie seems to have is a complete exaggeration planted with him by someone in the Habs front office to dissuade Seattle from taking him (not that they likely would anyway) so that Hair's favorite d-man (No. 8) is also on the protected list. I expect to see Weber back by no later than late October/early November (he has to miss some time for some credibility sake).
Models have lagging variables. I don't think they incorporated covid in them.The "models" have Danault getting 5.5-6.5m
I don't see it happening in a flat cap season... But maybe.
I don't think he can under expansion draft rules. He would have to retire.I don’t think he’ll be protected but all Weber had to do is let it be known he won’t play if drafted, the way Spezza & Perry let it be know last season they wouldn’t report if claimed on waivers....does Seattle really want $7.5M dead cap space?
This is all optics & show.
I have one pressing question waiting to be answered this off-season, there seems to be an awful lot of GMs who’re telling their UFAs to test the market and come back if they don’t get any bites....why all of a sudden do GMs feel so secure doing so w top end talent (Hamilton, Landeskog etc)?
MLB style collusion circa 1987?
Bergevin betterEvery team should kick the tires on Garland
Bishop has 2-years remaining on his contract at $4.9M...Allen provides the best bang for the buck of any experienced backup goalie capable of 35GPIf take Allen, just sign Bishop as backup….at this point, does Bishop think he’s getting starter money ?
He’ll be playing a lot anyways here
