Man... of all the things that we complain about Darcy for, this is tops on my list. He easily could have made the move to offer sheet Weber.
Really good move for Philly, and based on the reports of a huge first year it puts a lot of pressure on Nashville. They may not be able to match, but if you do match you are certainly not going to dish out $26 million and then trade him this time next year. And all Philly would give up is two 1's, a 2nd and a 3rd? Great deal.

If Philly does sign him, it sure makes me wonder whether Briere's time on the team will be coming to and end. Philly's top 3 centers are going to be Giroux, Couturier and Schenn in the very near future. Do you move Briere to the wing? Or do you trade him? Or do you trade Couturier and Mejzaros to Anaheim for Bobby Ryan, keeping Briere as your #2?

Let's hope Darcy decides this is a race now.

We don't know that he didn't. According to TSN, Detroit and "other teams" were in on this as well. If Elliotte Friedman's report about that willing to give both Parise and Suter $100 million deals is true, on top of them being at or around the $30 million rumor for Shane Doan, I have to believe the Sabres were in on Weber too. Offer sheets are just like UFA contracts. The player still has to accept it. When you accept an offer sheet, you basically are making 2 decisions: 1. Am I okay with staying where I have been playing the first part of my career? And 2. If I do accept the offersheet, where am I going to play if my current team can not or does not match? He obviously wanted to play in Philadelphia if not Nashville. The point is probably moot anyway because Nashville is probably going to match the offer.

I'm guessing the Nashville Predators are applying for a $50-$100 million loan from some financial institution as we speak.
