Buffalo has too many defensemen as it is. They want to move a defenseman for a forward. Maybe something like Drouin or Domi and Poehling or Suzuki for Ristolainen.

Buffalo doesn't need another RhD and neither does montreal. price and weber are tight. montreal or their fanbase hasn't complained about weber or his cap hit so why start now.

Sorry to be this guy but for once i say montreal passes. weber is a legit top pairing regardless of his age. until he actually shows he is slowing down weber is a montreal lifer unless deal blows montreal over rhe top.

I would pull the trigger on this trade if I was the Habs GM. I doubt Sabres GM would though unless Habs add Leihkonen.

Weber’s contract is a massive boat anchor and if he retires early the team he is on at the time gets hit with a recapture penalty against there cap. Just to get out from Webers contract is good enough reason to make this trade.

Actually hockey fanatic. If Weber retires before the contract is up it is Nashville that gets hit with the cap repercussions. Just like Vancouver and luango situation.

Actually CTC it’s both teams. Just look at Florida’s salary. They have a recapture penalty of about $1M. It’s both the team that signed him, and the team that has him on roster at retirement.

if weber retires this would be what is owed to both teams

20-21 nash 4.1 mont .762
21-22 nash 4.91 mont .543
22-23 nash 6.14 mont .215
23-24 nash 8.19 mont 0
24-25 nash 12.29 mont 0
25-26 nash 24.57 mont 0

thats the breakdown if weber decides to retire
the 23-24,24-25,25-26 seasons only 1 million is owed in actual cash each year to weber and since those years don't affect montreal . weber may retire. what would nashville do?

Well before weber actually announces his retirement they could work out a deal with Montreal and weber and send idk a couple 1st round picks to Montreal for weber and put him on ltir for 3years.

How did you get those numbers? Is there a formula? I’d like to know how to make that calculation too.

Nashville won’t be able to do anything. Although 24.57 sounds like it is over the max a team can pay a player. So I’m sure Nashville might be able to appeal that last one somehow. If I’m not mistaken, 20%*85.5=17.1. So if Weber is a 24.57 million cap hit, he exceeds the 20%.

Does anyone else think it’s unfair the nhl put these retirement rules with recapture penalties into affect after the contracts were signed, just to punish teams for doing what was allowed by the cba at the time?
