Montreal Canadiens Shea Weber out next season, career may be over, GM says
MONTREAL Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin said captain Shea Weber will not play next season because of injuries and that the defenseman s career may be over.
Bergevin said on a video conference Thursday that Weber is dealing with a number of injuries, including to his foot, ankle and knee.
Weber, 35, was a stalwart on Montreal s blue line last season, guiding the Canadiens to the Stanley Cup Finals, where they lost to Tampa Bay in five games.
Bergevin said it will be impossible for the Canadiens to replace Weber, but the club will look to fill his minutes through trades, free agency and existing players.
