Trotz: Weber has been 'an absolute beast'

Nashville Predators coach Barry Trotz on his superstar defenseman, Shea Weber, and the incredible season he's having:

"He's not getting the accolades across the league that he would if we were a little higher in the standings, but it's by far his best season in terms of production," Trotz said, via The Tennessean. "And we're basically breaking in five defensemen, maybe four … and he's having a terrific season. So to me, he's having by far his best season as a Predator, as a pro."

Also: "If you were doing a coaching poll, I know he'd be in the top three," Trotz said. "He has been an absolute beast this year in terms of the way he's played. On and off the ice, he's taken a leadership role. He's been a difference maker. He can play in every situation you want to throw at him, and he's having a great season."
