    I have a hunch that he's not going to be back, but that's just me.

    eh for the price that it'll cost the wings, they might as well just give him a contract and keep him around for depth
  • JLRedWing13JLRedWing13 Posts: 48,722 mod
    They don't have room for him. That's the problem.

    Not for a 4th liner who is basically a power play specialist. The Wings have a logjam at forward right now, at least in the bottom six.

    They can only be there so long.......I love Homer but his role with the team is smaller than ever and I think he knows it.

    I'd rather he hang it up before he completely breaks down like Stevie Y did....

    Shea Weber signed a 14-year offer sheet with the Flyers....the Predators have a week to match it.

    Do they have the cap room?
  • fucketh_thine_selffucketh_thine_self Posts: 3,363 just the tip
    Nashville has the most cap space in the league, they'll match or they will get phillys 1st round picks for like the next 10 years

    Flyers still need goaltending to win the cup....

    Philly never has a pick in the top 20 anyway, not really worried about that. I would like weber doe. Its like 3 years not 10. Bryz isn't the reason we lost to the devils.

    nope. it was your backchecking. he faced a shitload of shots.

    hey lose the 4 draft picks, yeah it sucks, but Weber is a proven NHL #1 defensemen, you dont know what youre going to get in the draft. We have a shitton of guys under 25. And a young team that could use a 27 year old Norris trophy runner up. Weber would get $26M in one calendar yr, NSH would be forking over 16% of entire franchise net worth ($163M in '11 accd to Forbes) to match offer. Either way, Nashville is fucked. Flyers missed the playoffs once in the last 20 years. They dont get high pics, and when we did get JVR, he turned out to be sort of a bust. Like I said, you never know what a draft pick is going to give you, Weber is a boss.

    Nashville will match it, but these stupid decade plus contracts will hurt your flyers terribly in a few years. you tihnk Bryz isnt worth that kind of money now, just wait a few more years when hes older, slower and still taking the same cap hit.

    Bryz played awesome against the Pens in the playoffs. only gave up a touchdown in each game
  • HOODSHOODS Posts: 41,866 destroyer of motherfuckers
    Bryz stepped his game up against the Devils. He played in shitty Phoniex and shitty Anaheim. He wasnt used to the pressure of Philly, now he has a year under his belt, he will be better.

    I wouldnt be so sure Nashville will match. 26mil in one year, that will hurt their franchise hard. Also, rumor has it they were looking to trade him anyway. Philly might be doing them a favor. I dont think they can afford it and also Why hasnt he already signed there long term? YOu think he wants to play his entire career in Nashville? I dont think they can match it and Weber knows it, thats why he signed it. You dont think they offered him a long term deal after losing Suter, they know he isnt going to stay. If they are going to match it, whats the wait for anyway, he already said they would macth any off from anybody. I dont think they can afford it and I think they would have lost Weber to free agency next year. Theres a good chance hees in orange in black next season, if not Nashville is fucked either way.
