This was entirely predictable - Weber might not play next season

I have never been more proud to be a Habs fan than now

you may be setting yourself up for a big disappoint....we'll see in a few weeks how far the Habs push this

money talks.....and we all know Molson loves his money.

If Weber is on LTIR, the insurance pays his salary no ?

Nah ...this is pure 100% unadulterated BS.

This upcoming season was going to be Weber’s last anyway, he wasn’t playing for $1M in last 3-years.

I’m expecting big time moves...Ovy type moves.

Here you go Ovy: 1-year, $1M base + $12M non taxable bonus

Here you go Suter: 1-year, $1M base + $4M non taxable bonus...BTW your partner Shea will be back for playoffs...

Weber has 5 yrs left. at 6, 3, 1, 1, 1

So yeah, 6M in his last 4 yrs wasn't going to happen but he gets every cent if he's injured (like Marian Hossa who retired due to eczema years ago but collected every dime on a contract that finally expired this yr)

that's what I mean....if Habs don't get Ovy/Suter/whoever than you will be disappoint

I don't find many interesting UFAs tbh

 

[Habspatrol]

They gonna pull a Tampa and he can return for the playoffs next year?

 

[Rolex]

5 yrs left ? Wow....that long....

Money talks and bullshit walks...as opposed to myth $ does buy happiness, just need to outbid everyone else significantly

 

[xposbrad]

Incredible news. Obviously would love to see Hamilton here, but what other all around D men are there with good offense?

 

[wiseguy1]

Maybe Price will take a year off too

 

[CH1]

...and Gallagher while we're at it

 

[Rolex]

Can Gally play the regular season, and then take the playoffs off for vacation

 

[lecoqsportif]

Heh. Was wondering about that.

 

[wiseguy1]

then maybe gallagher wont be ready till Feb,, rolling in LTIR cash.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Unleash the Kraken..

 

[CH1]

this might be a minor technicality but Habs still have to ice enough talent to make the playoffs before they can access $20M of LITR money for a playoff run.

How's that any different than now?

Not that they're actually looking to do it... but they could theoretically sign Dougie Hamilton and another good player or two.... that could get them there.
