An arbitrator has awarded Nashville Predators defenceman Shea Weber a one-year contract worth $7.5 million. The amount represents the largest such award in NHL history.

The Nashville captain had been seeking $8.5 million from his club, while the team countered with an offer of $4.75 million.

The award represents a significant raise over the $4.5 million that Weber earned while becoming a Norris Trophy finalist last season.

Under the terms of NHL arbitration rules, Weber is eligible to become a restricted free agent next summer. He is not eligible to become an unrestricted free agent until the summer of 2013.
