Norris Trophy winner and Team Canada stalwart — the most physically imposing blue-liner of his era.
Shea Weber was born in Sicamous, British Columbia in 1985. Nashville Predators selected him 49th overall in the 2003 NHL Draft. His career produced 230 goals and 410 assists for 640 career points. He won the Norris Trophy as the NHL's best defenceman in 2017. He was selected to six All-Star games. He won Olympic gold with Canada in 2010 and 2014. He was one of the most physically imposing defencemen of the modern era — his slap shot was measured at 108.1 mph and his physical presence defending against opposing forwards was described as genuinely intimidating. He was traded from Nashville to Montreal in a blockbuster swap for P.K. Subban in 2016 — one of the most discussed trades of the decade given both players' status. He became the Canadiens' captain. Injuries — particularly foot conditions — limited his final seasons and he retired in 2022 without the championship his ability merited. He is the most decorated player in Nashville Predators franchise history.
