Rinne makes 3.4 mil & Suter makes 3.5 mil

I wanna see how much of a raise these guys get.

Rinne should be due a least a Bryzgalov type deal. At least.

Who knows, maybe last year's run into the 2nd round will bring out more fans and Nashville will actually pay out some contracts.

Yeah, and maybe Barry Trotz will put some starch in his fucking collar for a change.

Doubtful.

Get ready for a massive salary dump in Nashville after next season. Along with Weber,the Preds window just had some signifigant closure. Its basically now for them.

If things remain the same, quite possibly. I think a lot depends on the next CBA. The current one expires after this season. Also, maybe, just maybe, Nashville fannies fill the seats.

Heh, no worries. In fact, if you wander around, you'll find some Preds fans (and maybe Hog, too, if I remember correctly) who will declare that Weber is the 2nd best defenseman in Nashville.

I'm not much of fan of these kind of debates.

That's one way for Nashville to quickly hit the cap floor and not worry about adding anything else to make their team any better.

Wow. I've never heard that. I'm not surprised by it though...

If Weber got 7.5, I'll bet some more defensemen's salaries start going north of $7 million.

Wiz got over 5, I don't see why this is so surprising to people. That's just what the market is for defensemen, apparently.

Keith and Seabrook are awesome deals, in comparison.

If Wiz is worth 5.5, then Weber is worth 11. I LOVE LOVE LOVE me some Wizzer (of course I loved Cam Barker too so I'm biased), but Weber is one of the premier defenders in the league and he was well worth 7.5.

From @Steve_Dangle on twitter: The Top 5 cap hits among NHL defencemen are now 1. Weber (7.5), 2. Campbell (7.1), 3. Chara (6.9), 4. Bouwmeester (6.68), 5. Boyle (6.66)

So Chara is close to being 7+, but not quite there.

If Wiz is 5.5, then Seabrook for 5.8 is a steal.

No shit there. Seabrook at a shade over Wiz is THEFT.

Exactly. I think the cost for defensemen is going up and the Hawks managed to sign their important guys right before the cost went up.
