Considering the Wings PP sucks, this is OK with me.
You missed the point.
These guys aren't "special" on the PP.
They're just on it -- Hence their production

Ah well -- another season of sliding toward mediocrity

No he isn't. Fil is much more physically gifted, I agree. But Weiss has put up comparable numbers and woeful Florida teams and much, much less inconsistent.
Fil is a good playmaker and good two-way forward, and it sucks he's leaving but Weiss has a much better on-ice mentality.
Lol, I was thinking the opposite actually. Both will improve our team. Not to mention Tatar, Nyquist and Andersson will actually be playing all year.
If Weiss signs, no way does Cleary, Flip or Brunner return. This roster might be set after this move...have to believe all other lineup holes will be filled internally (ie--Tatar).

He is definitely an upgrade over Flip.
Agreed:
So what are we looking at? Signing Weiss probably means D+Z
Zetterbeg Datsyuk Bertuzzi
Franzen Weiss Alfredsson
Abdelkader Helm Miller
Nyquist Andersson Tatar
Sammy/Tootoo/Eaves/Emmerton
We still need to cut two guys
Really scared we are going after him. He is definately not worth 5+ million. and if reports are correct he is seeking 5+ years.
I believe it would be easier to get a center next year than this. And the quality of centers hopefully will be much better (2nd line wise no chance #1 center hits fa).
I have a feeling he will be coming here under 4.5 mil if he's coming here.
Those later years are probably going to be him used as a 3C. I'm fine with that if Helm's back can't support him playing hockey anymore. The reason I'm fine with him being a 3C in a few years because the cap will likely be up to what it was last year or even beyond that.
He's an upgrade over Flip, he's a great two way player, he goes out on the PK, he can play PP. He's a jack of all trades #2 center. He's what this team needs.
Mackenzie just said on tsn that blues and wings are finalists for Weiss
Dear St Louis. Win.
**** that hurt just to type.
