Isn't it funny Hartnell is playing his best hockey, on the last year of his contract

If Hartnell want's 5mill + I would let him walk.

Hartnell is signed for another season beyond this one.

Wow. Do you actually research anything? Hartnell's signed through next season.

They need a defenseman before making the trade, don't they? Trading one defenseman to add another still leaves a need for a defenseman.

True they could move Read up, I just worry about putting all the eggs in one basket with Weber, plus the cap hit he will carry next year and beyond...but yeah, if Nashville would do JvR and Carle for Weber, I'd be in.

If they get Weber, I don't feel they need another defenseman. Timonen anchors one pair, and Weber the other. I go with that into the playoffs. No question that a top cap hit like that, clouds the picture. And I think your point about needing a complete team and not being top heavy with a few high Cap hits is a valid concern. It's puts them back into what they just got out of with recent deals.

I'd still like to add an upgrade for that third pair. I have flashbacks of one legged Jason Smith and Jaroslav Modry getting caught out against a good line.

After adding Weber, they'd have to make another move to add his cap hit.

I think they'd still be able to get a decent defenseman on top of it. I think it's all just fantasy anyway. I'm not expecting Weber to be dealt. And we both know that the scenario of JVR and Carle for Weber isn't going to happen. So even if the Flyers did get Weber, they'd have to give up a whole lot more, likely creating more holes in the lineup. Bringing your concerns of having team depth further into light. Not to mention the Cap issues. And what if Pronger comes back?

I agree. I think Weber would be moved in the Summer, if at all. Then you have more teams able to get involved, and you know where the draft picks involved are at and teams will be more likely to make a big move because they have a camp to mesh the pieces.

No go. Why would Nashville want to take on a pending UFA?

Carle will not sign for 4M. He can do far better in Free Agency.

"Here Matt, please sign this low market crappy deal so we can trade you to Nashville! Thanks.
