To match, or not to match, that is the question.

Well, there is one more, actually.

One possible result of the Shea Weber drama would involve a deal between the Nashville Predators and Philadelphia Flyers, in which the Preds would agree not to match the offer sheet, in exchange for trading some of the draft picks coming over from Philly in exchange for roster players. It's a tricky situation, but not entirely unprecedented. Might it apply here?

Travis Hughes of Broad Street Hockey & I recenlty teamed up to talk through the scenarios involved in the latest SB Nation video:
