from Josh Cooper of The Tennessean,
“I think disappointment would not adequately describe the word I would like to choose,” Predators general manager David Poile said. “Disappointed and little surprised based on all the conversations we’ve had.”
Poile said the Predators were not given last chance to match the Wild’s reported offer of 13 years at $98 million.
“We asked him what the reason was and he said it was for family reasons,” Poile said.
“Our attention turns to our captain Shea Weber and the player we want to build our franchise around and see if we can talk to he and his representative about a longer term contract with the Predators,” Poile said.

Nashville can’t keep their UFA’s. Never have been able to AND for 98mil. Minnesota can have Suter. Rediculous. Lidstrom should come out of retirement; he’d get 130 mil for 13. Oh, and feck Poile and feck Cooper. Tools.

Someone needs to send a 1-year, league max offer sheet Weber’s way.

I love this idea. Put the ‘ol stake in the heart, if you will.

Wow I had a messed up dream. Was listening to the radio while sleeping, and heard about Parise and Suter signing with Minnesota. In my dream as a result, Nashville couldn’t resign Weber without Suter. So I dreamed that they ended up trading Weber to the Canucks for Edler and a cpl picks. Woke up thinking we had weber, then realized it didn’t happen.

Poor Josh Cooper and David Poile.
HAHAHA. Wow…and I thought us Wing fans were moping…
I can’t believe anyone in Nashville thought they had a prayer in hell in keeping Rinne, Weber, AND Suter.
