What makes Montreal's deal worse than Edmonton's is the fact that Weber is under contract for the next NINE SEASONS UNTIL HE IS 40 YEARS OLD

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Even if you HATED PK Subban, WTF are you doing taking that contract back?!?!

Even worse, it's actually 10 seasons.

Cap recapture only applies to contracts signed under the previous CBA.

Weber was signed under the previous CBA so if he retires early there will be huge recapture penalties for Nashville.

Montreal rioted after Maurice Richards got suspended for pulling a Jesse Boulerice.

I see a follow up happening tonight; this has got to be more outlandish.

Could Bergevin be racist? I mean, I really can't think of anything else.

well andrew shaw will bring the much needed class and sportsmanship that pk was obviously lacking

Stamkos's deal with TB is expected to come in at eight years, with an AAV of $8.5M.
4:10 PM - 29 Jun 2016


We couldn't afford that? Schenn gets 6 years at 4.0 ava
- Deasr1

thats correct...the flyers were not able to give Stamkos an 8 year contract

The 2013 CBA states that any long-term contract — defined as seven years or more — entered into on or before Sept. 15, 2012, is eligible for cap advantage recapture if a team received a “cap advantage” from it at the time the player retires or defects from the NHL.

Wasn't Weber signed before the new CBA?

July 19th, 2012 was an exciting day

Shea Weber is taller than PK Subban. For the people who were whining about needing to get bigger, I guess Montreal's GM got the memo. Who cares about skill and talent disparities when you can be taller/heavier than someone else?

Edmonton and Montreal can both suck a bag full.

kinda jealous of these trades today

I'll guess his accountants get a better tax rate than that, but your point is taken.

A guy at TSN broke it down further with agent fees and escrow.

At 10 mil:

Toronto 3.8

TB 5

The best way to describe today from Montreal and Edmonton's perspective is a desperate need to get buggered.

AT $8.5M, he's still making $450K more per year, or $11.65M over the course of the deal.

Well...yeah, that kinda worked out, huh?

The silly season has officially morphed into the BATpoop (frank)ING CRAZY SEASON!!

If Chiarelli and Bergevin were GMs in the KHL, Putin would have them shot.

While the Devils are robbing Taylor Hall from Edmonton, what are the Flyers getting done?
