Nashville does have the funds to pay Weber because they made huge offers to both Suter and Parise. i'm not sure Weber wants to play in nashville for the rest of his career but he doesnt have an option if they decide to match. yes i did hear that they were possibly going to trade him but the return on a trade is way more significant then offer sheet compensation. i was hearing they were looking to get 2 top 6 forwards, a first pairing defensemen as well as a few prospects and picks for Weber.
they'll find a way. back in like 97 the Rangers offersheeted my boy Sakic with an offer that they didnt think the Avs owner at the time could match because of a 15 million signing bonus. the owner ended up having to sell some of his shares in other business just to keep Sakic
NHL writer among dead in Colorado theater shooting
The tragic movie-theater shooting early Friday in Aurora, Colo., hit close to home for many in the hockey business.
Among the 12 killed was Jessica Ghawi, 25, who wrote under the name Jessica Redfield and was part of the Denver-area hockey community.
Among other outlets, she wrote for the website Busted Coverage and was an intern at Denver radio station 104.3 FM and for the You Can Play Project.
"The thing that stood out to me most about Jessica was how sharp-witted she was, and funny at that," Sporting News NHL writer Jesse Spector told People Magazine's website. "It's what made following her on Twitter so much fun. She was amazingly enthusiastic about hockey, journalism and life in general."
Condolences poured out from around the hockey world as news spread Friday of her death:

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Months after asking the Columbus Blue Jackets to trade him, star forward Rick Nash had his wish granted and is headed to the New York Rangers.
Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson announced Monday the club had dealt the big right wing, the team's captain and career leader in most offensive categories, along with a conditional 2013 third-round draft pick. The Blue Jackets also gave up minor league defenseman Steve Delisle, a source told ESPNNewYork.com's Katie Strang. In return, the Rangers sent centers Brandon Dubinsky and Artem Anisimov, defenseman Tim Erixon and a first-round pick next year.
how the fuck can the Rangers afford Lunquist, Nash, Richards, Gaborik, Callahan and those stud young defensmen? theyre gonna have fill in bums the rest of their roster.

cause it's NYC. they buy their championships. just look at the yankees lol. they pay boat loads of money for all the great players that have already made a name for themselves when they were on other teams

The only player worth a shit that Columbus had is gone. \:D/
I would probably rather have the players the Rags sent to columbus then Nash. Nash is a good hockey play but way overpaid and still has like 5 years left
