Bear in mind that despite past performance in a weaker market team, it will be very difficult to project Weiss impact in the Red Wings system. He may find that the Wings style of play may be far more natural of a fit for his skill set than Florida's and end up playing at a overall much higher level with less total responsibility than what was asked of him on the Panthers. Structuring his role will be important and finding the correct set of wingers for him to play with will be important come camp time.
What pleases me overall about Weiss is that despite is all, he has a very direct mentality in terms of taking advantage of a clear shooting opportunity with what appears to be a deceptively accurate snap shot and doesn't make an unnecessary pass when presented with a clear lane. Additionally, he has always been a very defensively responsible. Not a bad signing at all.
We know what we have with Filp, an inconsistent, very talented, speedy two way forward. Weiss is less physically gifted, but brings a more aggressive scoring mentality, a strong work effort on the ice, and true two-way style of play - with the potential to be more than that when he gets into Detroit...
Seems like a net win to me
