Shea Weber was on Hockey Central other day. Good interview. He was talking about Suzuki, etc... Said this year is first year he felt healthy in 3 years. Said he broke his ankle, tried to play with it ended up needing 2 surgeries. Also bragging up Markov. Said he was very good passer and smart player. I never noticed before but each have played 990 games. Each have around 570 points. Weber has 100 goals more though. Who would you rather have on Canadiens if each were starting their career over? No comparison. Weber would be next to Big Bird if they were both playing in the same era. Back then they had the big curves and Webers shot would be even more lethal, actually lethal. And at 6'4", 240, the biggest guy in the game. "Big Bird" was huge...but at 6'3" and 220, not that huge now. Weber is bigger then Robinsen. No question, i would take Weber by a huge margin. they were talking on 690 today about Markov making Habs all time team. Which makes him one of our best 6 defensemen of all time. But like you, I can't see it.

"If there are no cap issues". That's a gigantic if. Almost every team has issues with the cap. It can't just be waved away. He's going to be 35. He has seven years left at 7.8 million per. You really think he could get a first and a prospect if Montreal doesn't retain? A #1 D right. How many chances do you get a chance at them at a trade deadline. A guy like Weber could be difference between couple of cups or going out in 2nd round? But this virus could change financial landscape of league. Unknown the impact at this point.
