Shea Weber or...

How I learned to stop worrying about his signing and love his beard. Or something like that.

Here's a good article over at the In Lou We Trust, where they find many arbitration cases are signed the day of arbitration (but before the hearing) or signed the few days before:

Now we can all stop worrying until Aug 2nd! ;)

Here's an update...looks like the Kings are going to wait for the Weber deal to get done. They may be in a worse off situation than us.

The4thPeriodDB Dennis Bernstein Drew Doughty #LAKings contract talks on hold. Parties won't come back to table for minimum 10 days.

Phew!

I’m not sure I like the whole “we’re waiting on Weber” thing they and Kings fans have going, but it is nice to see that evidence that calm is warranted.

But I want the Parise hearing to blow up!

A rift between Zach and Lou……….this is what’s needed. :)

Well, 4 went to actual arbitration. So hopefully Weber is a usual case and Parise is this year’s Niemi. :)

Best comment about Shea from that post:

“Maybe, but Weber is probably more valuable than Zach, as he actually performed in the playoffs really well. He was awesome offensively and defensively, and had the best beard in the playoffs to show as well.”

Fear the beard, people.
