As Hank Williams Jr. put it: "There's a tear in my beer 'cause I'm cryin' for you, dear."

sounds like the kid that kills his parents, then asks for special treatment because he's an orphan

Somebody should have had a plan in place when they agreed to match Phillies absurd offer.

Weber deal pinching Preds

Somebody should have pinched them before they made the deal.

There a retort in there somewhere about pinching one off I just haven't figured it out yet.

If Nashville needs to be fiscally smart, the Shea Weber deal does not make any sense at all.

I believe they did it because they had to, not because they wanted. With Suter gone and then having the ability to keep Weber but letting him go for money that would say to their fans they weren't willing to go all out.

They probably thought by letting Weber would cost them the chance to have a fanbase, instead they might regret it worse if they spend more than they bring in, have to raise prices then dont contend as well as hoped.

It's a lose/lose situation and I would have loved to have Weber from from a fans view I like what the Preds did.

get rid of these guaranteed contracts and bonuses.......make everything incentive based (as it is in the real world) when they hit the defined targets they get paid. The whole contract is way out of line......

I get the whole bonuses and structured contracts over decades, that was handled with the new CBA, but to make everything incentive based will just create a horrible league of (more) selfish players just trying to reach the incentive and not a team goal.

I think the cap, cutting the bonus and extended beyond playing years contracts is a good way to make teams decide how many baskets they want to put their eggs in.

It wasn't me but I believe it isn't allowed.

Biggest problem as with Parise and Suter up in Minny is they have to shell out the shekels lockout or not.

well just about everything......I mean what is in this $27 million he is owed over the next year?

That is just a baseball contract......

$27 million for what, really? Nobody is that good
