OccamsRazor Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I don't understand this move unless White wanted way too much. Flyers don't need another RW. They needed someone to play LW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 It seems he maybe an upgrade by this besides faceoffs..... we'll see....... http://www.broadstreethockey.com/2016/7/1/12078802/dale-weise-flyers-rumors-nhl-free-agency-2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSN’s Bob McKenzie said on television that the (Weise) deal is a four-year deal worth more than $2 million per season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So losing some of White's FO proficiency isn't a killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murraycraven Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Still young and is better offensively and defensively than White. Guy is not an unknown.... if I am not mistaken he played w Briere in Montreal. More offensive upside and can slide into top six if absolutely needed. If we have learned anything Hextall certain ly overpays on contracts to date.... not shocked. He is better than White so they upgraded. Better skater too... Contract is a bit high but not going to cry over 2.3M for a player that will fit in well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimKerrFan12 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 He automatically is our top guy on the 2nd PP unit. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briere sent out a few tweets saying it was a great signing for the Flyers and that the fans will love Weise. Funny some are upset with this deal. If Homer was still GM, Weise would have gotten double the salary, double the term with the Homer mandated full NMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murraycraven Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Hextall is looking to upgrade. He upgraded on the offensive , defensive zones and skating over White. Won't argue it is a bit too much but that appears to be what Hextall does... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have the money to throw around and we upgraded a position. May have been a little too much but I like this signing. Then again this time a few yrs ago people thought RJ was a great pickup and would score 20 while playing the Pp and Pk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't argue it is a bit too much but that appears to be what Hextall does... At least he doesn't have a NMC or NTC. So that is a plus. There are only 3 total (NMC or NTC) on the Flyers this upcoming year. Giroux, Simmer and Streit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murraycraven Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 One thing think we need is a little patience here to see how things shake out. If they move Read Weiss could be a cheap fill for the 3rd line... not sure that is the plan but it would be nice. Weiss is a better player but there is no doubt you have to wonder what White was asking for.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthbal Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Could they potentially resign White??? And have a 4th line of White/Bellemare/Weise??? That would leave VandeVelde out of the picture.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
