dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 Anything over 5 would have scared me a bit. Holland pulled this one off nicely. Lets just see how he handles the extra forwards we have before we go praising him full out. 1 whitewolf406 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 Nice. I don't know a lot about Weiss but seems like a good value and replacement for Flip. Combine this signing with Alfie's and it really changes how Holland's offseason has looked. With the way things seemed to go with the Wings regarding UFA's I was afraid he'd end up with the Blues at the last second. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Travis 576 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 How much room do we have exactly? Im terrible with this stuff. I'd link you to capgeek, but every time a team makes a signing their page crashes from views. With Alfredsson taking up $3.5m and Weiss' $4.9m Detroit should have $2.3m left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ogreslayer 1,069 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 I just posted this in the locked thread..was Weiss the captain in Florida? Did we just swipe 2 captains from 2 new divisional rivals? No, Ed Jovanovski was their captain last year I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opie 308 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 How much room do we have exactly? Im terrible with this stuff. Not a cap-ologist myself and unfortunately Cap Geek is on overload. Someone else will have to help out. But I think this leaves them in the neighborhood of 4 mil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 Wow our top 6 just got ramped up add that to Datsyuk resigning. Also if helm is healthy our team is so much better. I don't see where Bert and Sammy fit on this team tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DatsyukianDekes 2,428 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 Weiss was just on Sportsnet being interviewed. - Said signing with Detroit was a "no brainer" - Was down to St Louis and Detroit - Toronto didn't contact despite rumors they were in - Is excited to put on the Wings jersey, and to play for a classy organization. - Is excited to learn from Datsyuk, Zetterberg and now Alfredsson 3 Travis, amato and LidsFan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckbags 863 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 good old days?? LOL we didnt get 40 yr old washed up players and overrated injury prone guys , back in the day we got the best injury prone guys? Weiss has averaged 74 games a year in his career and that number is only at 74 because he was injured last year.

achildr1 255 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 4.9 is a steal in a weak FA class when teams want to overspend. This is a great signing. Replace Fil with a better player fora reasonable term and cap hit. Doesnt get much better. 1 sjr2012 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opie 308 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 Not sure how we sign Gus, Andersson and Smith with 2.3 milion but there must be some kind of plan in place. They still have one compliance buyout left. But I am of the thinking that at this time only Smith gets over a mil and very little over a million at that. So you are looking realistically at about 2.5 being used up on all of 3 of them.
