Proposal: Brent Seabrook for Andrew Shaw

[SubbanForsberg]

Habs gets help for Shea Weber.

HAWKS gets back the old warrior.

the habs would have the most expensive rhd in the league. i think a weber for seabrook trade is the fairest deal possible

 

[Ctrain2k]

No one's gonna take Brent Seabrook without some serious incentives.

 

[cactusjack]

in either one Seabrook vs Weber or Shaw, Chi needs to add a lot, or retain 50% and probably add a little... I don't see Mtl adding Seabrook with Alzner still signed for 4,5 years.

If there's any contract that's untradeable it's the Brent Seabrook contract, Not only would Stan Bowman need to retain at least $2 million or so and that probably wont do it. He'd probably need to send a decent pick to the acquiring GM as well that's how bad it is.

I would love it if Seabrook was traded to Montreal. The one thing they need more of is overpaid and slow defencemen.

This is insane, Weber is still a top 30 defender, at least.

not really. weber's contract is longer and more expensive than seabrook's and weber probably won't be a top-30 defender for very much longer. the habs save themselves 1 million a year for 9 years and get a better chance at a higher draft pick with seabrook in the lineup.

Other than the fact that Seabrock is barely an NHL player anymore and Weber is still a top pairing guy?

Weber>>>Seabrook with similar contracts.

I don't think you understand how contracts work.

I posted about this a while ago, but it was including a pick and a good prospect going to Montréal way as well.

well weber may not be a top-pairing guy for much longer. who knows he could follow the same path as seabrook

The best part is the way that contract is structured Seabrook gets 9M in actual dollars for this year and next, and pretty close to buyout-proof with the signing bonuses. WTH was Chicago thinking signing him for that?

This doesnt make sense, unless you're new to the NHL

ntl would also get something of value with seabrook, maybe like a good prospect

how? the habs aren't competing and shouldn't be competing. they need a rebuild. getting seabrook and a good prospect in exchange for weber gives the habs a better chance at a higher draft pick and start the rebuild

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

can you not?

my bad, i read your post as seabrook for weber and a prospect

 

[Balthazar]

um how am i wrong?

Weber never had any intention to play the last 3 years of his contract, which is why the salary is 1M a year. He'll have pocketed 107M of the 110M of his contract by then. Cap recapture is Nashville's problem so it doesn't matter for any other team anyway. His contract isn't nearly as bad as people think it is.

He has 4 or 5 seasons remaining after this one and will be better than Seabrock until the end.

alright no worries there.

 

[Tysonson3]

He may not be a top pairing defender forever but until he’s a healthy scratch he will have a lot more value than seabrook

This is the detail that I think a lot of people miss.
