It gets badassier.  

 

According to Nick Kypreos, the Flyers offered Weber $110 million. Here’s the breakdown. These years don’t even sound real.

2012-2013 through 2015-2016 (4 seasons): $1 million salary + $13 million signing bonus per– $56 million

2016-2017 through 2017-2018 (2 seasons): $4 million salary + $8 million signing bonus per– $24 million

2018-2019 through 2021-2022 (4 seasons): $6 million salary per– $24 million

2022-2023 (1 season): $3 million salary per– $3 million

2023-2024 through 2025-2026 (3 seasons): $1 million salary per– $3 million

Total? $110 million 

What does that mean? It means that Weber would receive $27 million before the start of next season (two $13 million signing bonuses + $ 1 million in salary for the 2012-2013 season). $41 million by July 1st of 2014. In total, $56 million over first four years of the deal.

The average annual value of the deal would be $7.85 million, the Flyers' cap hit.

Match that, Nashville.

    Homer’s gonna sign Hamels next.

    Smart move.
    Love it. Hope it’s too rich for Nashville’s blood.

    Homer deserves a cold beer

  5. Homer = Mr. Burns

  6. All of a sudden, Weber slamming Zetterberg’s head into the boards seems “gritty” instead of “classless.” Cha Ching.

  7. How can the Preds even match this offer? 26 million=16% of the franchises total value! They’re screwed. Only thing they could possibly do is match the offer, then trade him.

  8. “Shea Weber, come get the Stanley Cup.”

  9. @ Will. Totally agree. I thought that was so dirty when it happened and now I cant wait to have somone like that on the team. Hope it works out

    Just made some calls and here’s what I’m hearing. Voracek will sign a multi-year deal upon finalization of Weber’s deal. Also, hearing voices, uh I mean chatter about a Hartnell extension as well. First I will eat breakfast and then when someone else breaks the news I will claim that I said it all along.
    Cheers!

  12. Face,
    The press wouldn’t be able to trade Weber for a year after they matched the Flyers offer.

  13. HOMER’S GOT A FUCKING GUN!!!!!

  14. Can they still sign Voracek after this cap hit, I mean Pavel Kubina is gone and had a 3,850,000 cap hit so i’m guessing still room to sign Voracek

    Jesus! To call this a “Monopoly Money” sort of deal would be a horrible understatement. Does Ed Snider have the keys to to the U.S. Mint or what?

  16. Ah, well that sucks. I heard a sign and trade might be an option if they wanted players out of the deal in addition to some picks.

  17. “This offer sheet brought to you by Xfinity Live”

  18. Face- they could do that by effectivly “trading” the compensatory picks back to the flyers for the players. A la the Chris Gratton deal in 97.

    WOW, I can’t believe what I’m not hearing from my sources. We are on the verge of a blockbuster folks. Let me finish this cup of coffee and I will fill you in all I can say now is Nash, Ryan, Weber, Doan, Voracek, Schenn Bros., Luongo.
    Cheers!

    Homer & that p*ssy Eddie Snider are trying to steal the spotlight from phils reagrding RAJ & Hamels

  21. Really upset at all of these imposters of me… i will treat them to a mcflurry the next time i am with my sources…should be enough… more to come
    cheers

  22. flyers sucks

    THAT’S what AAV means.

  24. @Dave
    they will have to move Mesz to sign Voracek…. and they better. his salary will afford us Voracek. and we dont need Mesz with Weber+Coburn+Kimmo+Grossman+Schenn as our top 5.
