Eklund: FLYERS OFFER SHEET SHEA WEBER

FIRST on the biggest move of the summer.

Big back and forth right now on what the compensation is.. well we don't even know the AAV yet people so wait..

117.75M / 14 would be worth 4 first rounders

otherwise it's two 1sts, a 2nd, and a 3rd

Yes!!!!! Hopefully the press can't match

they need to match and then trade him
2 first and a 2nd and 3rd is not even close,nashville needs to match this offer.

Actually bud I was, but I wasn't logged in..so number 2 is where you really are.. Just so you know.

i thought weber wanted to test free agency.. didn't expect him to make this signing! i guess that means he doesn't mind playing in Nashville because they are most likely going to sign!

This actually is good news for nashville they will probably just match.

it is 4.

"The aav calculation for offersheets is total value of the contract divided by a maximum of 5 years. it will be 4 1st rd picks."

The only way that he could circumvent the cap, was to sign as an RFA. Probably the new CBA would have capped him to 5 or 6 years. Let the auction begin!!

Yeah cause they're just willing to shell out 100+ million to one single player. If its heavy front loaded, they'll certainly be in trouble.

no idea what NSH will do, but i think NSH HAS to match. cant lose your two franchise players. losing both Weber and Suter will kill hockey in Nashville.

as much as this is a hockey decision, it's an even bigger financial and business decision...

Balls to the wall

Interesting philly would make this offer. Surprising actually.

Nashville will most likely match. 4 first rounders in the mid 20s is an underpayment.

Btw... Flyers mother(frank)ingbuzz

Was Mike Gillis sleeping? Another BC boy gone...

Agreed, but he may not want to come back and an auction may happen. Maybe Philly actually works out a deal for him, before the completion of the process.
