[Reality Check]

Now that Detroit has seemingly moved on, where will he land?

[chances14]

My guess is St. Louis

 

[JmanWingsFan]

I thought New Jersey would go after him...

 

[1st Line Interloper]

Calgary, where all underachievers' careers go to die...

 

[Petes2424]

Washington maybe after Ribiero left. He'd be great with Edmonton playing a similar role as he did in Detroit. Vancouver if they can make room??

 

[SoupNazi]

Calgary.

 

[Shoalzie]

Was going to say Calgary as a goof but it might make sense...they need a center and he play with his old buddy Happy Hudler.

Flip is the kid who got his lunch late and has only a couple chairs to choose from in the lunch room and they're not exactly at the cool table.

I think it would be kind of fun to have him in the division. Who knows if Stevie is going to pay, though.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

I hope Fil turns it round. He be a great fit in a small market like Tampa, and he could play with Stamkos. I hope teams don't buy into him as a center, he's a very good winger but not a good center.

 

[ProPAIN]

Calgary, Dallas, St. Louis or Tampa.

 

[bababooeyII]

Going to St. Louis, book it.

This is where I want him to land. For him, for us, for Tampa fans. I'd hate it if he ended up with one of our former rivals.

I'd like to be able to keep an eye on him going forward and we could do that if he's in our division. He'll always be one of my favorite players.

To be honest, I don't really care anymore lol

As per @Real_ESPNLeBrun, Valteri Filppula agrees to 5 year deal for $5M per year with TB.

This seems most logical with the loss of Vinny.

Why am I not surprised Stevie Y was the one who signed him.

 

[CK17]

Good for him, hope he does well, but Weiss is better at essentially the same price.

 

[RedWinger10]

I've been thinking Calgary for a long time. But who knows.

Good for him, we'll see if he has more success as a center in Tampa. Glad Stevie Y was able to sign him.

 

[sully6one]

Hahaha he must not of wanted to play in Detroit. I always sucks seeing guys that have started in Detroit leave, but at least he went to Stevie Y

 

[mindfly]

So he'll be in Detroits division....

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Too much. Weiss is the better player, IMO.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Good for Fil, wish him the best.
