Sure, Weber is getting older, but some of you talk like he's washed up. And yes, he had a bad series in the playoffs. But the 'what have you done for me lately' attitude is way over the top here, IMO.
Weber is far better than PK defensively, and I expect he will be for some time because PK takes too many risks. The Habs need to settle things down in their own end and he will help with that.
For now, the Habs save money. Over time, that reverses. And of course, time will catch up with Weber at some point.
Overall, IMO, an understandable trade from both sides.
