The Nashville Predators are continuing negotiations with soon-to-be restricted free-agent defenceman Shea Weber, but the NHL team filed for salary arbitration on Friday. Sources say the Predators did so in order to protect themselves from another NHL team making an offer sheet on Weber
Quote:
Meanwhile, the New Jersey Devils have elected to take impending RFA forward Zach Parise to salary arbitration for the same reasons as Nashville with Weber - to protect themselves from an offer sheet.
