Edmonton Needs To Target Shea Weber In A Trade

02/25/2014 at 8:22am EST

from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal,

I know Weber’s the face of the Predators, but I also know if the future Hall of Famer Pronger can be traded, so can Weber.

I also know Oilers president of hockey ops Kevin Lowe LOVES Weber. Weber is in his prime, he’s 235 pounds, only Zdeno Chara shoots the puck as hard, and Z stands in front of the net on the Boston powerplay now.

So Weber, who probably has at least seven more years as an elite defenceman, currently pounds it better than anybody else.

If you were the Oilers and Weber was in play, what would you be willing to give up?

Would you consider trading Taylor Hall or Ryan Nugent-Hopkins for Weber? I can’t fathom the Predators not asking for either Ryan Nugent-Hopkins or Taylor Hall, who might get 80 points this season, in any package for Weber.

Would that be a non-starter for the Oilers or is Weber, in his prime, too good to pass up, no matter the cost?
