All David Poile had to do was pass on the contract. He did not. He is well aware of the ramifications.
How was he aware of ramifications that didn't exist when the contract was signed?

They'll have to trade for Weber to buy him out. Montreal with a lot of leverage.
Except these type of contracts had been going on for years and the cap recapture penalty didn’t exist yet so what ramifications was he aware of?All David Poile had to do was pass on the contract. He did not. He is well aware of the ramifications.
Yes, that's all he had to do. As someone with a Pens avatar I'd think you'd understand the situation considering we were in the same situation coming out of the lockout.
Haven't we known this for years
LOL “forced”
Like they didn’t have a choice...

Also, the amortization of the cap penalty makes zero sense. If a team signs a player to an obscene contract length, and said player plays most of that length, it shouldn't be a higher penalty. It should be similar to a buyout where the more remaining years nullified, the larger the penalty.
What are the 2026-2029 drafts looking like for depth and top end talent? Could be worth it.That's OK, they can just unload that to Carolina for 4 1sts.
Yes, the choice was between matching and not matching the cap evading contract. Now they are on the hook for the fair and proportional punishment of...uh, $24 million
Having to essentially be below the cap floor by a few million in current player salary in order to be cap compliant would torpedo a team. Have to sell off several players and replace with rookies and waiver wire players. Meanwhile the entire league can take advantage of you because they know your s.o.l.
Nope. They signed him to that contract.Now I could see the league giving Nashville a break on this one because it wasn't their intent to sign Weber to that contract. That was Philly's fault. lol
Except it was actually Philly who forced them to do this
Looking years ahead, Nashville’s come close but hasn’t won it, not even thanks to Weber. Should’ve called phillys bluff, but that’s a way easier option to look at now rather than then.LOL “forced”

Preds fans have allies in Canucks fans. These penalties are entirely crap.
So....wanna start a new league with us?

Just saw a game with '29 draft hopefuls and it was a shit show. The size and skill just wasn't there and hockey sense wasn't anything to write home about either.What are the 2026-2029 drafts looking like for depth and top end talent? Could be worth it.
