Ryan Suter has left Nashville, will Weber follow suit? (Getty Images Myles Dorn Jersey ) With one decision on Wednesday, the Nashville might have just been dealt two ma sive blows. , one of Nashville's big three players and the top defenseman available on the free-agent market, picked the Minnesota for . Obviously that means he's not coming back to Nashville, at least in a Preds sweater. That's one blow.Wild land Suter, PariseMore NHL coverage | | | "Today this is very very very disappointing," Predators GM David Poile said.The next domino to fall could then be , their top Norris Trophy candidate. Suter and Weber have been playing alongside each other for years and were somewhat tied at the hip in the future of the franchise. They both said the same things: They want to see a team that's going to win. The prevailing wisdom was that if one goes, they both go.Well, one is gone.It leaves Poile in a very tough position. He just lost one of the premier defensemen in the game for nothing. He certainly gave it his best try and put in an offer that was certainly competitive with the 13-year, $98-million deal Suter received from the Wild. According to an NHL source offer was 13 years, $90 million JoshuaCooper (@JoshuaCooper) Still though, big-money offer or Alan Page Jersey not, it yields absolutely nothing for the Predators. Suter walks away with nothing in return other than maybe dispelling the reputation that they don't have money to spend in Nashville.If you are Poile, do you really want to see the same happen with Weber next summer? You are talking about a defenseman that is, for almost everybody's money, the better defenseman between Weber and Suter. It's like a Ferrari vs. a Lamborghini, but you get the point. Weber is a restricted free agent Trishton Jackson Jersey for one more year. The Predators haven't re-signed him to an extension obviously and said extension seems like a long-shot now. If Weber takes a qualifying offer from the Preds then he will be going through the same proce s Suter just did and if he walks, Nashville gets nothing.All of a sudden, we might have another star player on the trade block. Nashville will have to determine if they really think they can keep Weber around long-term. If Ben Ellefson Jersey the answer is no, then how do you not try and get a ma sive return in a trade and start rebuilding the team around some different faces?Or he could roll the dice again. Right now Poile seems set on trying to make it work with Weber. "Our focus is now turning to our captain, Shea Weber," he said on Wednesday while admitting they have been talking extension with Weber. "We want to build the team around him. I told Shea on numerous occasion that 'you are the captain of our team and we want to build the team around you.'"It's certainly still A.J. Rose Jr. Jersey po sible Weber will decide to re-sign in Nashville. But you have to think Poile will be a bit more cautious and consider all of his options. If an extension isn't worked out in relatively short order, it might be time to think about it.Put it this way: If you are David Poile and you are looking at this same po sibility before next season's trade deadline, aren't you looking at trade options? I know I would be. Wednesday was a great day in Minnesota. Not so much in Nashville."We're going to find a way. It's a credit to the Predators, we've found ways to fight back before," Poile said. "We'll replace Ryan and stay competitive."
