PUMPED BABY! Don't think the Preds can afford to keep him but supposedly Poile is meeting with the owners tomorrow to see if there is a way for them to get that money.
Some pretty interesting facts here: (Found all on twitter)
If the Predators match offer, they will pay Shea Weber more over next 12 months - $27 mil - than they make off ticket sales— $24 mil.
Flyers made over 70 mil in ticket sales including Winter Classic and playoffs last year
The Nashville Predators lost $7 million last year and haven't been profitable since 2008
Spending $26M in one calendar yr, NSH would be forking over 16% of entire franchise net worth ($163M in '11 accd to Forbes) to match offer
