Predators' GM Poile squashes Weber trade rumors ... again
In case you weren't listening the other 1,187,106 times he said it, Nashville Predators' GM David Poile is not trading captain, and franchise cornerstone, Shea Weber.
David Poile crushes the constant trade rumors around Shea Weber: "We’re keeping him, we’re building our franchise around him."

Despite Poile's continued insistence that he has no intentions of dealing the three-time Norris Trophy nominee, Weber's name continues to crop up in trade talks because baseless rumor-mongering is key when generating interest heading into the NHL offseason.
Weber tied a career high with 23 goals in 2014, while finishing third among defensemen in points with 56.
