    Flyers sign Weber to offer sheet: 14y/$110m ($56m 1st 4yrs)

    BostonBruinsDan1924 replied to a topic in General

    The "poision pill" in this is that the CBA states that a player’s salary in any single season may not be more than 20% of the Upper Limit as set in the year in which the player signed his contract. $14MM in season one and another $13MM on 7/1/2013 goes against the CBA 20% uppper limit. This is the sticking point in the deal. I understand that Nashville CAN match it, howerver with the cap ceiling be $70M x 20% = $14M. Maybe I'm missing something here...

    After thinking about things after my last post I think there's more than meets the eye going on... just think what the possibilities are if he finances the Preds to a Stanley Cup. That 5% just got more valuable... plus, I think he may be waiting in the wings to buy the Preds outright if the current ownership collapses.

    My question is does a 5% owner want to be the financier to the biggest contract in franchise history without a more significant stake in the team.

    This changes it now because Nashville can and will become a cap team.

    Just fond this...Wilson is a well-known Canadian businessman and philanthropist based in Calgary, AB. He is currently Chairman of Canoe Financial, an investment management firm with over $2.0 Billion in assets. Nashville might have the money to keep Weber. I wonder why nobody is talking about this??!! This is HUGE!!! https://twitter.com/wbrettwilson/status/136866348058947584

    I have shown you a few great links that you haven't seen, yet you and your pompous attitude don't like it. I'm not calling into question what you just said in the above statement...what I am calling into question is Nashvilles ability to match an offer sheet. We all know the 2005 CBA expires on Sep15th and we all know this is a great chance for a UFA or RFA to cash in on. It comes down to money for a small market team that has been losing money for years and a small market team that has trouble keeping good quality players. Nashville will never be like us original 6 teams that are the back bone of the NHL. I don't think Holmgren is all that smart vs my GM Peter Chiarelli. Last summer Holgren shipped Flyers captain Mike Richards and Jeff Carter away from Philadelphia...inked a huge contract for a unproven Bryzgalov... Holmgren shipped James van Riemsdyk to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Where as my GM, along with the Wings GM and your GM, we bring our players up through the franchises system and cultivate them. As for Holmgren he's going to fire up his fan base with a huge splash and sign high end talent with will lead to a turn over rate season after season after season.

    I know it's not a courtroom, I'm just saying, if links aren't worth anything then fine, then links are useless on a message board. If this Preds fan says that his GM has the money then back that statement up, don't just give lip service. If he wants to discredit links then that's fine, he better be able to prove what he's telling all of us in one form or another.

    Buy you saying "Do you believe everything you read on the Internet?" you are saying that EVERY thing online is BS, well things that aren't slanted your way are. But anyways this is why Preds fans are the laughing stock of message boards and the NHL. Fact #1 The Forbed site is based off 2011 data (Team Value1$163 M Team Value calculated November 2011) not 2007. http://www.forbes.com/teams/nashville-predators/ Is this URL BS too? Fact#2 Nashville is $13.3M from the CAP FLOOR. Fact#3 Weber Offer Sheet: CIRCUMVENTION? (I suppose this is BS too?) http://www.mcsorleys-stick.com/2012/07/weber-offer-sheet-cba-circumvention/ Facts#4 Shea Weber CBA offer sheet compensation CHEAT SHEET (This is BS too?) http://www.mcsorleys-stick.com/2012/07/shea-weber-cba-offer-sheet-compensation-cheat-sheet/ I have done noting but backed up my statements with facts. You keep telling all of us the owenership has the money, and if that is the case, then prove it. Don't just give me lip service, prove that ownership has it and not by "hear say" either. I've proved my points...now the burden of proof is on YOU sir to prove that ownership has the money that you keep telling us.

So ya...money is an issue with your franchise. As you like to say...facts are facts...and there they are in black and white my friend.

    Here...go educate yourself and get up to speed with the rest of NHL. Read these links...as you said facts are facts. Nashville doesn't have the CASH. The Preds are further from the NHL cap floor than any other team...$13.3M The Preds are worth $163M...they would be foolish to cough up 16% of the teams worth as stated below. Frank Seravalli‏@DNFlyers Spending $26M in one calendar yr, NSH would be forking over 16% of entire franchise net worth ($163M in '11 accd to Forbes) to match offer. http://www.mcsorleys-stick.com/2012/07/shea-weber-cba-offer-sheet-compensation-cheat-sheet/ http://www.mcsorleys-stick.com/2012/07/weber-offer-sheet-cba-circumvention/

    BostonBruinsDan1924 replied to a topic in General

    Using the signing bonus mechanism to pay Weber $14MM in season one and another $13MM on 7/1/2013 has, literally, the effect of paying him $27MM in season one. You could argue that paying Weber $27MM between late July 2012 and July 1 2013 violates the spirit and intent of the rule that caps compensation at 20% of the Upper Limit, which, I might add, the contract exceeds by almost 200%. This right here caught my attention. If I understand this correctly, this might be a sticking point, then again I could be wrong. They say $14.05M and if I read the numbers correctly, the contract is $14M even. Either way you dice it I don't see how Nashville can front load a deal like the Flyers have done. They really did their homework on this and stuck it to the ownership. I just can't see Nashvilles ownership mortgaging the team or their future just to match and retain Weber. I will say this...small market teams get F'd hard core compaired to us Original 6 franchises or any of the other top money making franchise. Weber played the arbitration card last year and was awarded the $7.5M vs Nashville offering $4.75M. I don't think he can play that card again. I could be wrong.

    "The agent also told the Inquirer that Weber having former Predators teammates Scott Hartnell and Kimmo Timonen in Philadelphia made him feel "comfortable" and factored into his decision, and that he was "pretty certain" the defenseman had talked with Hartnell before deciding to sign the offer sheet." More info coming out in Philly...he talked to former Preds players. http://www.tennessean.com/article/20120720/SPORTS02/120720005/2079

    I just realized something...nobody is talking about Pronger and how his contract, in a way, affects all of this. If he retires, because of his concussion, does that fudge this deal up? Do they trade him to free up cap room? Any thought on this side note? http://philly.sbnation.com/philadelphia-flyers/2012/6/18/3095914/chris-pronger-injury-update-philadelphia-flyers-concussion

    How can Bettman "exert" some pressure on this? Look what happened to Kovalchuk and the Devils...his contract went from 17 years $102M to 15 years $100M and it was approved. Then the "Kovalchuk clasue" was born. Maybe I'm missing something on this...I don't know. If I am please let me know.

    If Weber signs with the Flyers, the top pairing, for Nashville, is Kevin Klein and Roman Josi. I hope Rinne is ready to get peppered with 50+ shots.

    Cybulski & Co@Cybulskishow Here is our interview with Shea Weber's agent Jarrett Bousquet - http://bit.ly/MocI6a Did you not listen to Weber's agent and what he said? "everything changed July 4th" meaing when Suter left Weber knew it was time to move on and he said he weasn't going to go through another "rebuilding" phase. Translastion he wanted out. As for the Capgeek link the number don't lie, granted it's all a numbers game, but at the end of the day Nashville will have a very hard time matching or trying to match the offer sheet. Your team isn't turning a profite on it's investment aka your franchise is losing money every year. Remember Jim Balsillie want to buy the Preds and move them to Hamilton, OT? If Weber signs with the Flyers all's you have is Rinne with a 7yr/$49M contract. You guys have lost Suter, Radulov, Tootoo, Kostitsyn and Bouillion and you haven't bothered to replace any of those players. Polie keeps saying the Preds will match it and retain him...if that was the case Nashville would have already inked Weber to a deal. Since that hasn't happened now Nashville is in a huge bind and are looking to see IF they can pull off a match. At the end of the day Nashville has screwed this up and he signs with the Flyers. These are the facts of the issue and this is the reality of it all.
