Look around the NHL and you will find that there is no shortage of speculation about how this team or that team is in "great position" either to trade for Shea Weber's RFA rights this summer or to sign him an unrestricted free agent next summer. The Flyers are just one of the many teams that would be involved in the chase.
Right now, if Weber goes UFA next summer, I would think the Vancouver...

from Larry Brooks of the NY Post, Shea Weber is the player for whom you pay the bounty the Blue Jackets are demanding but won’t get in exchange for Rick Nash.
Weber is not yet 27 and universally regarded as a franchise player who plays the right defense position, the most difficult in the league to fill — and for whom any team’s list of untouchables is slashed to the bare...

from Kevin Allen at Rink Rap, It certainly isn’t difficult to determine what to offer Weber: It’s the Sidney Crosby contract of $104.4 million over 12 years.
We know the Predators can go that high, because they were at least in the neighborhood in their bidding for Ryan Suter.
If the Predators make that offer, they are telling Weber they value him as much the Penguins value...

from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN, And so, now the hockey world eyeballs Shea Weber and wonders what the big guy will do.
My ESPN The Magazine colleague Craig Custance did a great job breaking that down yesterday. A restricted free agent, the Nashville Predators captain will be a major story line all summer long regardless of his decision in the wake of Ryan Suter’s departure.

By now, you have already heard that the Nashville Predators lost top defenseman Ryan Suter to the Minnesota Wild, as the prize free agent took his talents to the Minnesota Wild, along with Zach Parise. The Preds were hopeful that they could hang onto Suter, but once it became clear that he and Parise were most likely a package deal, Nashville quickly fell out of the...

from David Boclair of the Nashville City Paper, Even before Suter and Parise spurned them, the Predators had more money available under the current 2012-13 salary cap, which is subject to change pending the outcome of negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement, than any other NHL team. Currently they are roughly $15 million shy of the minimum teams are required to spend...
