kipwinger 8,440 Report post Posted October 22, 2014 Filppula wanted out and I think TB will regret that deal. He's never had 2 back to back healthy productive seasons. What's the over/under on "healthy, productive, season"? Because I'll take your bet. 2 T.Low and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ram 240 Report post Posted October 22, 2014 Weiss isn't our savior Not saying he is but when the squad is paying him over 4 large per year, makes you wonder why he is just not playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted October 22, 2014 Not saying he is but when the squad is paying him over 4 large per year, makes you wonder why he is just not playing. Maybe because the coaching stuff expected more from him (including pre-season ?). ) It doesn't matter how much money a player is making if he doesn't perform Babcock won't play the guy, simple. 1 nyqvististhefuture reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that what's going on? Because Babcock and Holland's own comments suggest that he's not playing because they want to bring him along slowly, but that they've impressed by his attitude and hard work. This seems like another installment of "Frank speculates on something but plays it off like fact". 2 krsmith17 and number9 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted October 22, 2014 Weiss isn't our savior He was signed to be a key piece, of that there is no argument. Filppula wanted out and I think TB will regret that deal. He's never had 2 back to back healthy productive seasons. Struggling so far. 5 pts in 7 games, OT winner last night. 2 Ram and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,440 Report post Posted October 22, 2014 Learn what the term maybe implies...before posting some of the usual "kipwingers always right know it all stuff" Lol. So your posting strategy is to say demonstrably false statements, but preface them with the word "maybe" in order to make it seem like you're not being intentionally misleading? That's a good way to add to the discussion. There is literally NOTHING to indicate that the "coaching staff expects more out of him" or that Babcock isn't playing him because he's "not performing". There's every reason to believe that Babcock is impressed with his work ethic and attitude. You know why we have every reason to believe that? Because Babcock said it. And I don't have to preface any of that with "maybe". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted October 22, 2014 It's simple: he will get a longer look at some point this season and when he does, Weiss needs to take the chance and run with it. At least we aren't as screwed as Boston with that Seguin for Ericsson trade *rofl* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
