Sending Weise to the minors is the right move but I really dont see the point in writing sadistic and disrespectful stories about him. If he figures it out and comes back as the player we hoped they were signing I will he happy to root for him as a Flyer.

I mean, I thought it was pretty (frank)ing funny to be completely honest

I guess you missed all the games in which he played and showed no effort whatsoever? (frank) him. I will give any player who actually tries all the support that I can give. But that piece of sh!t has the talent to be a solid bottom 6 player, but he rarely, if ever, bothers to try. He deserves all the disrespect he gets!

Again, (frank) him.

I never saw it as a lack of effort. I think he struggled with balancing his style of play. Needing to play controlled and intense.

I never saw a lack of efforr from Weise. More so a lack of results. Im equally frustrated with Jordan Weal who has been given even more opportunity and underwelmed.

I get its a joke but talking about a man's wife like that is offside in my opinion. That being said, offside is sort of the norm around here.

Lighten up man. He's not going, "Man, I hope someone murders Dale Weise and has his wife gang-raped." And if you think that's bad, please for the sake of your mind, stay out of the Rangers' thread.

I think Raffl's a valuable bottom-6 forward, as long as he's willing to be paid like one.
- jmatchett383


I don't disagree but unless he's willing to sign a one year deal for 19-20, I'd pass. I just think that they are very close to having younger, faster, cheaper and better options.

- BiggE


I could see a scenario where Laczynski, Allison and Farabee all turn pro next year if they have big college seasons. And all play a pro type of game already and I could see Laczynski and possibly Allison in bottom 6 roles.

- J35Bacher


Yup, I'm with ya. It's why I'd probably pass on him unless he's willing to sign a one year deal for 1 million or less.

Yes, because we all know that our AHL players and prospects that we plan on taking his spot will make a seamless transition to playing 82 games of NHL hockey by the beginning of next year.

Didn't know one of the people was a two year old. I wish there was a big enough punishment for people who hurt kids.

Slightly old news.

This part is extra disturbing: We have a high degree of confidence that the perpetrator was probably killed in the incident.

No. But we also have to filter in some cheaper end young guys because you will be paying a high price for Provorov. If they do resign Simmonds money will be needed. Plus they are finally in a nice cap situation so this is where they might not need to overpay for a Raffl type. Isn't the idea to try and avoid Weise type deals now with prospect depth

Yes, which is why I said to sign him to a short term (2 years or less) bottom-6 type of deal. If he wants to go long-term or want top-9 money, thanks for the memories.

Basically, he's a reliable 4th liner who would be a great spare forward that acts as a safety blanket if some of the young guns struggle.

Gritty appears, a few days later Scott Hartnell "retires".

Coincidence? I think not.
