You're smoking crack if you think anyone is giving us a first for Weber's contract. I don't expect much in return, if at allif Zona takes Webers contract off our hand

Getting complete cap relief from Weber’s $7.8M is a grand slam. Which also paves the way for a Letang contract to fit in as replacement ..
One thing the Wild might want to consider is attempting to acquire the rights to injured Montreal Canadiens defenseman Shea Weber’s contract.
Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman mentioned on “Hockey Night in Canada” on Saturday that the Canadiens are willing to trade the contract.
Why would or should the Wild be interested?
We all know about their cap hell the next three years when the dead money for buying out Zach Parise and Ryan Suter becomes $12.7 million, then $14.7 million and $14.7 million, respectively.
If the Wild acquired Weber, presuming his latest injury is actually career-ending, the Wild would have to pay him only $6 million total the next four years plus the prorated remainder of this season. Weber carries an annual $7.857 million cap hit that could be placed on long-term injured reserve. It’s complicated and would take some annual maneuvering for Guerin and his team to make it work, but it may be one way to allow them to re-sign Fiala or delve into free agency.
Again, it’s complex, just a thought and obviously wouldn’t help them out of their current unstable situation.
I'm not. He's a fraud who just got hot at the right time and scored a big contract.I'm surprised to not see Danault o that list.
Michael Russo of The Athletic made a case for the Wild to trade for Weber's contract:
If your a legit contender for the next 3-4 years , team is giving you 7.7 of get out of cap jail money for free every year to circumvent the cap
If your clearly going to spend over the cap , you do it if your Colorado , etc....
If that team wont pony up a low first they are smoking cheap crack
That is a massive cap boost to resign Nate and retain or acquire others
If not let Weber rot on LTIR and use it for our cap , no need to spend to the max while team is rebuilding
Wait for the right time for cap strapped teams to pony up
I think you greatly overvalue the LTIR impact of Weber's contract. It doesn't magically allow a team to ice a $88M roster excluding Weber. What it helps is increasing their off-season cap space to resign players, but they still have to ice a 81.5M team (until the playoffs).
sure but the NHL is allowing zona to play in some 5k arena so maybe there is a bunch of crack smoking in the leagueYou're smoking crack if you think anyone is giving us a first for Weber's contract. I don't expect much in return, if at all
McBain (former Jets Andrew McBain’s kid) is rumored to be testing NCAA UFA not signing w Minny.
If accurate, Gorton / Hughes likely have inside info from their Boston connections and are confident they can sign him after BC season is completed
