7+ million to spend on 1 d-man, whether you trade for him or sign him, is one of the worse places to spend your cap space IMO. Weber is a great solid d-man and he'd certainly fill seats, but when was the last time the Canucks not sell out their rink? I would never spend that much dough on a single player playing D. I would way rather have 2x 3.5-4M d-men, the gap between a 4M and a 7M d-man is not justifiable IMO. Similar situation with goaltenders in today's NHL, the level of performance between 4M and 7M isn't THAT big.
The gap between a 4M and 7M forward however is much different. Unless your name is Gomez.
