I look for this to be the start of other players on the move. I have a feeling this is a precursor to a bigger move of a defence man for a top 6 forward.

Amazing trade for you guys.

Much better return for Weise than I expected.

Obviously a minor move, but Diaz's could help the PP a bit.

Good to have another RHD.

One less reason to hate the Canucks Solid move, but nothing spectacular. He can sub in for the injured in the top-4 and then is a definite improvement on Weber on the bottom pairing.

Still fairly young as well could still improve as well. I like this deal for the nucks.

So trade Edler for a top 6 forward

I hope this is the case. As pointed out below, a Edler move would probably make the most sense.

Even without Edler in the top 6 that is a pretty solid D imo.

anyone have an idea what Vanek has turned down for the Isles. It would be interesting to know what the offer was and roughly what he is expecting.

Still fairly young as well could still improve as well. I like this deal for the nucks.
- Yeti1181

Yup.

It's a player who could bounce back and help in areas of weakness (PP, PMD, RSD) for a former waiver pickup who nobody expected would garner a return.

I was less down on Weise than many in here, but even at his best, he's replaceable by other guys in the system.

Archibald did a fine job when he was up, and Sestito has proven he can provide more than what Weise does.

So trade Edler for a top 6 forward

We are playing Detroit tonight, perhaps Edler will be wearing different colors

Now what am I gonna do with my Weise jersey?

They made Dale Weise jerseys?

A few of us were talking about seeing a good old fashioned trade yesterday. Nice to see one materialize so soon. Hope some of you feel a little better about MG this morning. As Boinker pointed out he could have been very easily been waived. Minor but good work none the less.
