Hmmmm....not sure but I think we got ****ed.
Weiss 2g 2 pts 15 games
Filppula 5g 6a 11pts 14 games
We should have kept Flip.
They are both 15 games into multi-year contracts.

Weiss is a bit snake bit. He consistently gives his linemates great setups, they just aren't finishing. Plus he's been on about 10 different line combos since the season started.
Eventually Weiss is going to break through point wise. He is playing much better than he was a couple weeks back.
Beware small sample sizes.
Weiss has looked much better as of late. I have been one of the biggest defenders of this signing because I really believe he is going to be a better player for us that Flip was.
I really can't fault him too much for his point production because not only is he coming back from an injury, but a lot of his IT has been spent playing with pylons like Cleary and Franzen.
Funny how Filppula still gets those lucky goals. Tried to pass, it bounced in from Shattenkirk's skate. He still won't shoot the puck.
Weiss has actually looked dangerous at times in the past 2 games. He'll be producing shortly, I'm thinking. I still only expect him to reach around 40 points this season.
As for the Weiss v. Filppula discussion, why does Flip's production mean he's some sort of god while Hudler's being T-7th in NHL scoring is being scoffed at?

I never understood the Weiss love. He doesn't look like a 5M+ a year player IMO. It's still early, but like Babcock said " the devil you know is sometimes better than the one you don't..." yet they still went for Weiss. Time will tell but I don't like what I see so far.
Does Filppula come with Stamkos and St. Louis? Because if he doesn't, I'm not putting much stock into the idea that Filppula would be producing any more than Weiss has.
