12. Vancouver Canucks GM Mike Gillis has a saying: "You better draft centres because it's impossible to get them." Well, it goes something like that. I don't have it written down, but he's said it before. One centre Nill is eyeing is Stephen Weiss, who earned $4.1 million last season ($3.1 million salary-cap hit). He's probably going to come in around one-and-a-half times that or close to it. The Panthers are taking one final run at this.
13. The Stars, Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs have contacted Panthers GM Dale Tallon about getting Weiss' negotiating rights should he fail to re-sign him. After Hotstove Tonight, another source pointed to New Jersey as a possible destination since Devils head coach Peter DeBoer coached Weiss in Florida.
