I don't really want to comment on what it would take as I really don't know, but personally I would start at Eberle and add from there. I think these long term contracts really hurt trade value these days however.

If Weber gets traded it will be to a team that needs the cap hit as a lot of the dollars have already been paid to him, so in that sense it could be an asset. There is no way Nashville retains when so much $$ has already been paid out, or lets a team use it as leverage against them. A team like Carolina or Arizona (or Nashville lol) would look at his cap hit as more of asset than anything because there's not a lot of real money left to be paid and would help them stay above the floor.
