kylee 727 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 I wonder what teams were interested. Yzerman the GM so he's definitely familiar with Filppula Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaman 713 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 I'd take Weiss for 4.9 over Flip for 5 flat. Though I think it could be argued its a lateral move when its all said and done, I think the change of scenery for both players will do them good. 2 datterberg1340 and Hey man nice shot! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dobbles 252 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 i think this is an upgrade for detroit. they get weiss for slightyl less than what flip ended up getting, and weiss has been a slightly better scorer over his career (.52ppg vs .6ppg) which will be an upgrade. and of course the anecdotal evidence would say that weiss will be much better at scoring playing with the top 6 detroit has when you are out there with 13 and 40 creating space. weiss is only 1 year older so not a huge deal.

skyphoenix 153 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 At least Yzerman got him. We'll see him in our division quite a bit and it'll be weird seeing him in blue but it was obvious he wanted out of Detroit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheDetroitRedWings 286 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 Makes perfect sense from Yzerman's standpoint. He's already familiar with Fil, and he just lost a center in Vinny Lecavalier. Looks like we'll be seeing a lot of Filp now in our new division! Bring it on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
