Say Montreal wins the Cup and Shea Weber retires after the playoffs. Since he could get over $6 million this offseason, that would mean he needs to be signed for atleast 2 years. Would this be the case and the owner who signs him would have a $6 million + cap hit the following season for a player who retires and has no card?

Or buy him out, yes. This is necessary in an effort to keep owners a little more realistic in the bidding process.

Which would also mean that the sweet spot bid for him would be 5.95M. Now that being said, even with the threat of him retiring, I still bet that at least one of us will take the risk.

I was just curious if the rule would still be enforced at minimum of two years because someone wouldn’t be trying to circumvent the rule in this instance. But I appreciate the answer |

I think that whenever the owner is determining the number of years for his contract, the drop down menu showing years for guys like this wont go any lower than 2.
