nyqvististhefuture 1,002 Report post Posted June 30, 2015 Lmao Like he won't be in the lineup ... Don't like that were f***ed in the cap for 6 yrs Rather of paid 2 mill per year on his salary for 3 yrs to a team like arizona who needs to get to the bottom but wants to save money Oh well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If what I read is correct its 1.06 the first 3 years and 1.6 the last 3. With all the youth entering our roster that will be easily managed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylee 727 Report post Posted June 30, 2015 Interesting....I read an article from her a few days back saying how it's likely Weiss will stay with us because Datsyuk's surgery. Whatever way the wind blows, it seems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nyqvististhefuture 1,002 Report post Posted June 30, 2015 We'll Mckenzie just tweeted it So long weiss The penalty for his buy out cap hit seems pretty reasonable. If what I read is correct its 1.06 the first 3 years and 1.6 the last 3. With all the youth entering our roster that will be easily managed. Wasn't it 2.5 on a year or 2? Kinda tells a lot about weiss that we couldn't even find a team to take him with I'm guessing 1.5-2 mill per year paid Oh well ...nightmares over Time for the kids to step it up big time ... And with this move saving like 3.9 I'm sure we are gonna get semin ... Just a gut feeling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BottleOfSmoke 5,965 Report post Posted June 30, 2015 Wasn't a good fit for us for whatever reason.

Richdg 267 Report post Posted June 30, 2015 Just creating room so we can start signing young guys to long term deals. Nyquist, tatar, abby, Dekeyser, and maybe helm all need to be locked up to from the base we build around. Song long Weiss, it didn't work. It happens. have good life!

Bannedforlife 403 Report post Posted June 30, 2015 2016 TRADE DEADLINE PREDICTION: With Datsyuk, Zetterberg and Helm all out with injuries, Holland panics and trades Larkin and a 2nd to get Weiss back from whichever team he signs with. #thestreakstrikesagain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
