Not to mention only Therrien would put this guy on the top six and powerplay.

Emelin was fine on the second and third pair. Therrien playing him on first pair with Weber was absolutely ridiculous. Julien changed it the day he got to Montreal.
But then again Therrien called and played DD a number one center.
That still cracks me up.

Yes.
Habs last two coaches (as well as their current GM) are well known for playing guys in the top six that most teams would cut from their bottom six. Or put on waivers.
How long ago was Weiss put on waivers? A month?
I like the effort Weiss gave when he was in Montreal. He never got that chance or ice time anywhere else. So of course he liked it here more than Vancouver, Chicago or Philly where they didnt care to use him.

They were all "given away".
When you're giving away nothing are you still giving away something.
Good point. Any equipment bags involved in the deal? With or without pucks?When you're giving away nothing are you still giving away something.
lol...if ya sit back and look at it pretty crazy eh?
A so called 4th liner comes from Vancouver nobody knows his name....and he manages to become a underdog hero of the city..how the final chapter of this story ends we don't know..does he score the Stanley cup winner before he retires? ..i dunno....but i cant think of any "so called" 4th line guys in recent Habs history and there's been a ton to garner the attention Weise has....7600 likes so far for a return ...would Habs signing Tavares get 7600 likes? i doubt it ...would habs bring back Pacman67 get 7600 likes? i doubt it..
I dunno ,with Weise we took a 16 game playoff run and a 12 game playoff run....if he didn't get injured that year in the playoffs hard to say what would have happened..(as we seen with Washington,the secondary guys like Eller /Smith Pelly play major roles in playoffs)..so here we are again...steaming for the playoffs..and Weise on the boat...
We counting likes now when scouting a player ?lol...if ya sit back and look at it pretty crazy eh?

When Byron comes back, Shaw can be move as 4th center with DesLouise & DLO.
Emelin was fine on the second and third pair. Therrien playing him on forst pair with Weber was absolutely ridiculous. Julien changed it the day he got to Montreal.
But then again Therrien called and played DD a number one center.
Yet, Emelin was the only dman that could handle 1st pairing duties at that point in time
Therrien was not crazy. Markie B was

They definitely would. Agostino was Laval's top scorer when he was recalled. And Chaput, after a slow start, began to heat up just as they called him up to Montreal.
Both would be very welcome additions to the Rocket.

If that's what it takes to make Weise useful, then so be it. He's a player who fuels on emotion and there is plenty of it from nostalgic fans who remember his playoff contributions as a Hab. As long as he stays on the 4th line and Julien is able to have him stick to a simple game plan, he'll be better than whatever we've had until now. Although someone can easily argue that whatever we've had until now, is not exactly difficult to beat.
They had a guy named Markov. I think he "could handle first line duties". Julien put him with Weber soon as he got behind the bench.
Emelin was bottom pair and healthy scratched for a game within a month.

He was put on waivers and cleared, if the Arizona Coyotes traded for him he is probably just as happy, he has two years left on his contract and that is a long time to spend riding busses in the minors. I just wonder how he fell so quickly, I am not suggesting that he was a star here but a good soldier for sure and it is puzzling how he could fall like he has. I am sure he loved being here but he will also need to bring it when he gets his shot to be with the habs. I am looking forward to seeing if he can still play because we are not getting much from our 4th line as it stands. I would have waived all of them tbh.

Given what Weise cost, why not. It's not as if we were going to get anything for Schlemko and Froese anyway. Bergevin is taking a chance that Weise will be recharged by the idea of coming back to a place where he had a good run.

I look at it as "hey, he managed not to trade any of our picks." Sometimes, what doesn't happen is a great thing.
I've read a ton about Dale Weise on the Philly forum and they sounded exasperated. He was the plague to them and couldn't stand how he just seemed to wander about aimlessly and produce nothing. I hope this is not the Weise we're getting.
