I don't know about that. If he loses another gear, he's going to be a 2nd pairing d man making 7.8 million. I wouldn't call that manageable.

If he retires before the contract expires, it goes back to Nashville

The last 4 years of it he makes a combined 5 million, at which time he's over 35 and the buyout costs next to nothing

They need Weber to be good for 3 more seasons

Very manageable

Have you seen their defence? Mcdavids team isn't doing a whole lot better. It takes more then one guy. I just think they would be a pretty decent tandem with pretty solid wingers.

With Suzuki and Poehling coming and what we've seen from Danault this year, I'd wait before spending 8-9 million a year on a 2nd line C

yes but his cap hit is still 7.8 million. I don't care what his actual salary is. and he will be 36 in 3 seasons.

But that's what I mean, the actual money owed matters a lot if you're buying him out

Danault would be a good number 3 for sure. Again, i'm not concerned about the prospects, its the bad contracts that are going to kick in before the kids get good.

Not if you have an endless pit of money like molson has.

Because i think you have to add a piece or 2 and go for it in the next 3-4 years before price and weber become ineffective.

That pit of money is irrelevant when it comes to actual cap space

They need that and a centre to be a contender.

Thats what I said before. Weber is still going to cost you 7.8 million on the cap when hes 37 years old even tho he's only making 1 million dollars that season.
