ProudCanuckChick Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I have been a huge Canucks fan for many many years, and I think that we have a great team BUT I struggle to see what the point of having Dale Weise on the team. Lets face it, he isnt a big scorer and his fighting skills are pretty weak, so why not get rid of him? What are your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 No we don't really need Dale Weise, he's the definition of an average pro hockey player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frazzY Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 He kills penalties, hes just an energy player, like many from the past, like a tanner glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudCanuckChick Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 What do we need him for? Sure he has scored a few goals, but for the $615,000 a year the Canucks are paying him, surely we could find a much better enforcer? I just dont see how he earns his money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudCanuckChick Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Oh I know that are problems are bigger then Dale, but I just dont see the point in having a below average hockey player who cant really fight all that well as our enforcer.

etsen3 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Obviously we don't NEED Dale Weise. Guys like him are a dime a dozen. He does a decent job, but if we can make an upgrade I wouldn't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooby Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I hope because of this thread, he turns his game around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raph Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Do you have a good suggestion on who to replace him with? It's not like he stealing a lot of minutes from someone more worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudCanuckChick Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Yes we have Sestito now, but its common knowledge that Weise isnt on the team for his hockey skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudCanuckChick Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 The team that I hate the most is definately the Bruins, but I would LOVE to see Milan Lucic join us. He is a much better hockey player and one of the most feared enforcers in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 He's a quality 4th liner. I like him in that role personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftmN Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I've always seen him as an average 4th liner that doesn't really have the skill to grow or provide much more. I'd rather see the spot given to someone on the rise either through the wolves or a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudCanuckChick Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Maybe "enforcer" is the wrong term to be used here as imo "enforcers" are supposed to have fighting ability- unfortunately, Dale doesnt have that. My whole problem with Dale Weise is that he doesnt add anything to the team. Sure, he can kill penalties, but so can many others. I dont know, he just irriates me, but thats just my own personal opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
