Shea Weber wants to remain with the Nashville Predators and is committed to their rebuilding process.
"For sure, definitely," Weber said Sunday. "I'm committed to everything here -- committed to the team and coaching staff and my teammates, and committed to being better for them and getting back to the postseason."

There have been rumblings that Weber might want out after flirting with leaving already and while these words seem to dispute that notion, what one says in public can be entirely different to what is said in private. Time will tell if Weber is true to his words and if the Preds can afford to pay the defenseman the full freight on that massive deal.
