...this is where we need overlords...I miss the TerminEller...
Is this thread about Eller?
Go burgle some hamburgers or something..
How many points does anyone have when NOT playing with Patches? How many does Gally or Galchchenyuk have when not playing with Patches?
I hate these arguments. Fact is he IS playing on a line with Patches because he does his job and has been rewarded for it. Not a lot of guys on this team do what he does as consistently as he does it.
He's not a top 6 forward but on most nights, he does a hell of a job impersonating one. If take him of guys like Stewart everyday of the week because he actually plays like he gives a **** every shift. I'll never slam a guy like Weise. Especially when he's putting up numbers as the 3rd wheel on that line.
We're actually 12th by weight, which is good.
While it's true that we're small (27th in the league for height), the gap is ridiculously small compared to other teams. We're half a inch smaller than the median.
Amen.
Des Louise is a beautiful human being.

Weise was born to be a HAB
$1 mil/year...great bargain.
Would some of you prefer a Clarkson and his contract?!
Be happy we have Weise!!
I'd extend him for another TWO or THREE years since he can be UFA in 2016.
($1.5mil...$1.75mil...$2mil...3more yrs).
Weise can sometimes play on the 1st and 2nd (in case of injuries), and is awesome for the 3rd, and most of the time...too good for the 4th.
Speed demon, heart/grit, tall/big/physical, underrated shot/vision/passing, and...a playoff warrior (full of heart). What's not to love?!
Give me another Weise...anyday!!
(one for our 4th and another for our 3rd line or better...would improve our forward depth and heart/grit).

I'd say 0.9-1.2 mil should get it done.
This is exactly what I'm talking about when I say that Weise HURTS the top6 much much more than "not producing".
He doesn't belong in the top6, he doesn't belong in the top9 of a good team even. He is a liability on any line but the 4th.

The stats above disagree. He's a detriment to his line, they have to make up for his bad plays and lack of puck skills - the guy can't make or recieve a pass on the fly, can't make good decisions, can't do any of the things higher-end players do. He hustles, that's it.Love him or hate him on the first line, he's pitching in more than Prust/any other 4th liner would. He had an assist tonight, and arguably should have had a goal.
I'm not saying I like him there, or it's ideal, but he hasn't been terrible there either.

I'm sick of seeing "lunchpail and bucket" guys in the top6. Not Kostopoulous, not Darche, not Moen and not Weise.
Jesus Christ IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR?!
He's decent enough to be a top 6 guy once in a blue moon. You know, when guys in front of him just don't have it for a particular game.
I'm quite confident that the habs are actively seeking an upgrade in the top 9, so they don't put wiese there permanently. If there is one move the habs will make at the deadline, this is it, especially with PAP seeming to be in limbo (not that he is good enough for the habs purposes either)
not really, he only looks good there cause he got a few points playing with Patches (dont think he has any when not playing on Patches line)...
We should make a poll : who will end the season with the most points, Weise or Eller ?
Weise but unfair comparison really.
Eller is still the better player.

Off the top of my head, you may be right about his points, although I seem to remember a game against st Louis where he scored, but he was all alone in the offensive zone when it happened. So I can't remember his mates.
Its not so much about the points though. Its about bringing his legs and hopefully some energy when things are dead in the regular top 6. This happens the rare time.
This doesnt mean that he should be there often, or anything like that. That's a given.
