yes wing fans Weiss gets hurt a lot way more then flip you will wish you had flip back over weiss

sounds to me like most of you guys are calling him a teddy purcell clone. hopefully they dont put them together with drouin because all three are passers. they will just pass it in circles and never shoot lol. purcell has a wicked shot when he actually takes it but 8 out of 10 times he will pass first. either way fil is cheaper than vinny and less years. he will slot into the 3rd line role by the end of the contract because killorn or johnson will take his place. if not we move him to the wing when purcells contract is up.

Maybe the Wings bloggers should have a round table on Weiss then we don't have to hear their bullsh*t here.

Bullsh*t? Haha just wait till you watch him play a full season. You`ll beg for Vinny back.

I can't wait till we start spanking the redwings badly in 2 or 3 years from now

Fill pula to me is Robert Lang kind of frustrating

Tampa finally has their "Ville Leino contract"

Welcome to the club!!!

Like the young pups did in the Calder finals right?

In three years Stamkos will be tired of losing and leave. St. Loius will be gone. You will have Fil and Drouin and Matt Carle.

Please don't put us in any club with Buffalo. At least we try doing something.

Why not now? We are not waiting three years for anything.

Who knows if you'll be able to watch the Wings a full season with Detroit bankrupt maybe outside ice on the Detroit river by years end.
I never look back we take what we have a move forward. Funny I didn't hear all the Filppula detractors the last few years from the Wings fans only after he left. Maybe all the Swedes don't like the Finns.

Stamkos will stay! they have plenty of young kids around him coming Brett Connolly, Drouin, Palat, Panik, Nikita Kucherov and Vladislav Namestnikov not to mention a good goalie coming Andrey Vasilevskiy. Yzerman has been rebuilding for the last 3 years here. I would be more concerned with Pavel Datsyuk retiring in the next 3 or 4 years that will be your huge hole.

Maybe...Weiss has about 15-20 or so points on Fil per year so we'll take the back in forth.

If Weiss gets hurt/Crashes and burns we can always put Zetterberg on the second line or Andersson etc. Not a bad fall back plan.

He never shoots the puck, so don't expect 20 goal seasons out of him.

just pass it to stamkos then it will be fine or St.Louis

Yzerman's first redwing player signing lets party welcome to the sunny good weather side

Malone and Stamkos do. I don't expect ALOT of production from Filppula, 40 ish or so and that's the point. We have offense, we need guys that play all 200 feet.we are happy to have him, you are happy with Wiess. Why all the douchebaggliness?

yes do these redwing fans know we don't have a problem scoring we have a problem keeping the puck out of are own net.

His contract pisses me right off. Kesler makes five million, and when his contract is up, he'll probably look at this and want 7. Yzerman is a crap GM. All the assets he gave up for a two unproven goalies is laughable.

2nd round picks we got for moore and kubina that we were not going to resign them anyway for Lindback ? Cory Conacher and a 4th round pick for Ben Bishop when are minor league is over loaded with forwards ? Weiss got 4.9 million and Valtteri Filppula got 5 million that was the FA center market.

Not sure it is douchebaggliness...maybe just setting the record straight on what Fil had done at Detroit and the kind of player he was there. There seems to be (at times) things added to his CV that he has never possessed or consitantly shown.

I wish the guy well. I always liked him. Frustrating at times.

I could very well see him flourish in a different environment. Or maybe not.
