Yeah that's why In September he will log the most minutes on the top defense core ever put together

Good try

Tell Lord Mile Babcock the Great that you'd rather face Subban than Weber he will laugh his ass off

I guess all the team canada coaches and staff are terrible too

What do you think they are run by (frank)ing oilers ?? Lol

It's called taking the "safer" player for a short tournament. Babcock loves low event hockey.

I have to laugh. When SubbAn was a Hab the haters would be saying he's useless defensively and bad attitude bla bla bla. And weber was the best thing since slice bread. First defenseman named to team canada.

Now weber isn't as good as Tom Gilbert since he's a Hab

No one has brought up Subban's defensive game here; we're merely discussing Weber's recent shortcomings. Could he have a bounce back? Certainly (especially with Price behind him), but there are legitimate concerns surrounding his ability to defend in the ever-quickening NHL.

Just because you were trolled by dongs about Subban before doesn't invalidate our points now.

Plus it gives us a potential low risk/high reward player without really depleting our defense too badly.

Only reason for a delay I can think of would be if the Canes want to make sure that Fleury or McKeown is ready for the NHL before they pull the trigger.
- BINGO!

They could always snag up a guy like Nakladal for cheap in the needed an NHL competent D man.

Racist.

Pretty small sample size on Nakladal, though it'd likely be better than rushing McKeown.

Didn't lindsrtom win like 7 norris trophies in his 30s? Weber won't take the physical punishment like he did in the central. Andrei (frank)ing Markov is still playing in the atlantic with 2 rebuilt knees

If weber can have half the effect on the other densemen that he had in nashville then that alone is a win

Guys stop writing up your teams lines with yakupov in the line up... We all know that any team Eklund mentioned is DEFINITELY NOT getting yakupov.

We'll see how good he looks in Montreal...I myself haven't watched a lot of Nashville games over the years...i think he'll surprise a lot of his detractors.
- Garnie

He looks better than he is, though. He's what people thought Dion Phaneuf was.

Nashville coach had no problems giving him the most ice for D last year...I would think Weber has a few more good years in him.

True. Sign him for 2 and then expose him in the expansion draft to protect Ryan Murphy.

are you one of the aformentioned "densemen"???

This guy has supposedly been "on the move" for quite some time in many articles I have read on this blog now here it is again cmon

Peter Laviolette has not always made great decisions with his defense and shows too much loyalty to guys, sometimes.

Are you seriously comparing Lidstrom and Weber?

Hand blown glass? Or tempered?

With they type of money Stammer is bringing in he better be hand blown...

is a handblow like the thing in between 2nd and 3rd base?

No just the fact defensemen don't just die when they hit 30
