Afternoon Line

“I want to sign here. I love it in Nashville, I want to stay here, but it’s really not something we should be thinking about right now, we’re in a playoff race and it’s going to go down to the wire.”

-Shea Weber of the Nashville Predators.  More from Josh Cooper of Predators Insider.

The highest paid defenseman in the league is annually-injured Brian Campbell and his albatrossic $7.1 million and the league’s premier generational no-maintenance defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom is earning $6.2 million.  BOS’ Chara is earning a cap hit of $6.9 million starting next fall; he’s currently earning $7.5 million.

Somewhere in the middle is Shea Weber.  With those penny pinchers in NSH?  He’s gone to somewhere with the team willing to spend (SJS, perhaps?) and for term.

If we didn’t have $6M dedicated to Rafi, we could bring in Weber. I wish his and BF’s contracts expired at the same time.
