So, if he has the option of taking 2 years ( not sure about that ) does he do it? Should he?

Yeah, and a lot of time in the AHL. I remember this discussion came up earlier in the summer and I looked into his recalls and demotions, and based on what was there, he was not on the active roster for long enough to qualify for an "Aggregate Season," as the CBA calls it.

He and his agents had to declare that before the hearing, and they decided to go for a 1 season decision.

In their says 2 more years as a RFA. I don't get why though. He will have played 7 seasons and will be over 25 years old.
I must be missing something here.
This will only be his 6th season towards UFA eligibility. In order to earn a season, a player has to be on the active roster for 40 or more games, and Weber was not in his first year in the league and, therefore, has one more RFA season after this one.

It'll be interesting to see what, if any, influence this has on Doughty. There's been some speculation that his camp has been waiting to see what Weber ended up with before getting serious enough to sign.

There's not a NHL fanbase in New York City?
Asked to describe the discipline problems without naming names:
?I don?t mind saying Alexander Semin?s name, because he?s one guy who has so much talent, he could easily be the best player in the league, and just for whatever reason, just doesn?t care.
?When you?ve got a guy like that, you need him to be your best player, or one of your best players, and when he doesn't show up, you almost get the sense that he wants to be back in Russia. That?s tough to win when you?ve got a guy like that who?s supposed to be your best player not being your best player, or one of your best players."
