to what is needed to your team... offense? Even without Weber, Nashville will still have top 3 defensive depth of the league, and IMO, put up Suter - Blum, and it's nearly just as good as Suter - Weber. Suter is who your organization should be holding onto, not Weber. I do agree that Suter is the better defender, but if Weber signed an offersheet and we didn't match it would be devastating for the franchise. We are finally being recognized as a successful southern franchise, filling our building up at 93% capacity, the highest it's been in ten years, and then after moving on to the second round of the playoffs for the first time we take the face of our franchise away, it just wouldn't make sense to not sign him. If we don't sign him we'll be known as the team who can't hold on to their talent, much like we were the team that couldn't get out of the first round prior to this year, and we'd probably lose a good portion of our fanbase which took a while to build. We'd basically be starting over again. I'm sure if we were REALLY in a bind and couldn't afford Rinne, Suter AND Weber we'd get rid of a few undesirable contracts and replace them with cheaper contracts. Poile is a genius at bargain contracts. Thats what I see Nashville in 1 year (at the end of 2012), if they keep both defenceman. I have re-signed some
