TORONTO — As Shea Weber gave his speech to accept his induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday evening, there was a moment that was extremely telling of who he is and what he meant to the game and to whoever crossed paths with him over his career.

Shea Weber and David Poile’s stories have been intertwined for more than two decades. Poile drafted Weber when he was general manager of the Nashville Predators and eventually handed him the captaincy.

Two former members of the Predators were inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday: defenseman Shea Weber and GM David Poile.
