05/08/2012 11:31 Where do the Predators, Ryan Suter go from here after disappointing exit?
The Nashville Predators were seen as a real Cup contender this season, but after being bounced by the Coyotes in five games, the questions begin about what happens with Ryan Suter and the rest of the roster.
05/05/2012 14:36 Video: Is Alex Ovechkin's charge on Dan Girardi worthy of more than two minutes?
Mid-way through the second period of Game 4 on Saturday, Capitals captain and star forward Alex Ovechkin was called for charging on Dan Girardi. He only received a two-minute minor on the play. But will there be more coming?
Weber certainly showed his worth to the Preds last season, racking up 52 points in 80 games and leading the team into the second round of the playoffs for the first time in team history. To top it off, Weber was voted to the NHL's First All-Star Team for the first time in his career, and was named one of three finalists for the Norris Trophy, eventually finishing second to Nicklas Lidstrom. Despite these accomplishments, Weber and Nashville could not agree to terms on a new contract and went to salary arbitration in August. The result was a one-year, $7.5 million contract for Weber, making him the fifth-highest paid defenseman in the NHL. This season, look for Weber to continue his ascent to elite status in terms of fantasy value. He still possesses one of the most fearsome slapshots in the league, and plays with a bit of a nasty streak to boot. Don't be surprised if Weber hits the 60-70 point range this season, even without a top-tier offense to help him out.
