CanucksFanMike Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Really good depth player and a likeable guy, too.... great to have him signed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 People shouldn't underestimate Weise though. The guy's got some hidden offensive talent and is just entering his prime. Last season was his first full season. And of course he didn't blow anyone away, but he had a respectable season. If you look at his AHL totals as an indicator, there's definitely some untapped potential there. He had a better PPG average at 21 in the AHL, than any of our recent top prospects have had.

WindChaser Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Would like to see an answer to our 3C position more.. but that doesn't seem likely until the Doan deal is complete so MG knows exactly what to target as return for Luongo... on a side note, does anyone have any further news on how Malhotra is recovering from his injury? if he could play close to 90% of how he played before his injury, I would still pick him over Lappy as our 3C oh well, at least this move solidifies our 4th line of Volpatti - Lappy - Weise and between Volpatti and Weise, I feel Volpatti will be the one to get injured and our 4th line will become Pinizzotto - Lappy - Weise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucks-4-Life Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 LOL Weise training with a boxing coach? Reminds me of when Hordichuk says he trained with Chuck Liddel. We all know how that turned out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrrFour Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Weise is not big enough, doesn't get enough hits, not a good enough fighter, doesn't pass well. Weise was a marginal nhl'er last year. Yes, he could get better, but I think he's just insurance. I hope that he doesn't play a single minute with us next season because that will mean we've improved our fourth line.

WL Canuck Fan Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I don't think a lot of people are understanding what a one-way contract is. All this means is that if he clears waivers and plays in the AHL, he'd be making the same salary. So unless you're the ones paying his salary, there's no reason to care.

Understand Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Good to hear. He's a solid 4th banger. Needs to get a little meaner tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurai Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 He was a below average 4th liner last year. My highlight was seeing him beat up Horton. As others have mentioned he is only 23 and 'could' develop into something a little more than what he is now. He needs to show improvement this year - its a big year for him.

That Commentator Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 He's young, he's pretty versatile, and he has drive. He's not a goon and doesn't fit the mold that some people expected of him - so what? Look at all the comments from fans of other teams that would love for him to play on their 2nd-3rd lines: http://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=10730. It's amusing to read all the whining about him electing for arbitration in the first place, and now that he's signed for peanuts (by league standards) instead of waiting for arbitration there's still whining. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noheart Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 He's also only a year older than Hodgson. Still tons of room for improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpt Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Bottom line depth is a good thing, and that is if he makes the team. Wonder how much longer for the big news re Bobby Lou? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
