bossram Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Calgary waived him despite their lack of centers. I think he's be a great fit on the Vancouver 4th line. He's gritty, fast, been winning faceoffs. Cost nothing to acquire him (except maybe waiving Ebbet). With Manny gone, I think he could replace him adequately and give us better bottom-six depth. Jones - Lapierre - Weise Solid, defensively responsible 4th line. Jones/Lapierre can take left/right side faceoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Eh? Jones is a RH forward. So is Lappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AriGold Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I like his size, 6'3 207lbs and he hits also. Not a bad option.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baercheese Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Not sure why we waived him... one of the only natural centers Cervenka must be ready to play center or Baertschi is coming back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bookie Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 With Snow its partly bad management, partly bad luck. Feaster is just crap management through and through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allkill326 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Do we have to claim every player in the waivers thread? I'm kidding, but I think we can use a good faceoff player, instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookie Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I don't think we can take someone off waivers right now can we? Aren't we at max. contracts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opmac Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 You don't give Weise much credit, he plays his role nicely. You don't see Volpatti killing penalties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookie Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 It was 50 I thought, under the old CBA, and last time I counted on our CG page that's how many we had. Although with IR teams can apparently go up to 90 (!) so with Malhotra we have at least one to spare I suppose. I'm not too update on the health of all our prospects as well. Again, this is all based on my knowledge of the old CBA but I never heard any rumours of the contract limit being changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allkill326 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Depends on what you think Weise's "role" on this team is because I don't think he's playing his role (be a consistent physical presence and win a fight or two) nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
