Shea Weber wants to remain with the Nashville Predators and is committed to their rebuilding process.
"For sure, definitely," Weber said Sunday. "I’m committed to everything here -- committed to the team and coaching staff and my teammates, and committed to being better for them and getting back to the postseason." Weber's been locked in to the process since Nashville matched a 14-year, $110 million offer sheet Weber signed with the Flyers last summer. There have been rumblings that Weber might want out after flirting with leaving already and while these words seem to dispute that notion, what one says in public can be entirely different to what is said in private. Time will tell if Weber is true to his words and if the Preds can afford to pay the defenseman the full freight on that massive deal. Apr 30 - 11:58 AM

The goal, which was the 100th of Weber's career, was just the third point of the campaign for the Nashville blue liner. Coach Barry Trotz is hopeful it will mark the start of an offensive resurgence for the captain."Hopefully that opens the gates," he said. "It’s probably not critical that he scored today, but from, I think, from that standpoint, hopefully it’ll open some floodgates, because once he scores one, they start to come." We can't completely ignore the struggles he has endured so far, but Weber should still be considered among the top fantasy blue liners around going forward.

It’s not that he’s doing a lot of bad things, but I think there’s a little bit of a level of frustration in his game right now that holds him back a little bit." Weber is still pointless this season. Nashville bet heavily on Weber over the summer when they decided to match the Philadelphia Flyers' offer sheet of $110 million over 14 years.
Jan 30 - 10:45 AM

The Predators' payroll looks to be in good shape for the 2013-14 season.

Many clubs could face a cap crunch next year; the league and Players' Association agree that the salary cap should decrease from $70.2, with the NHL asking for $60 million and the NHLPA $65 million. Nashville has $45.4 doled out to 13 players next season, with five restricted free agents to re-sign, the toughest of whom to bring back could be Patric Hornquist. They're also in a good spot if teams have to trade or buy out players because of the cap.
