Confirmed Signing with Link: [PHI] Dale Weise (4 Years, $2.35M AAV)

[Zirakzigil]

Pretty solid signing

 

[gdsmack267]

Decent depth move

 

[BHD]

Excellent deal.

 

[Curufinwe]

He did play well on the second PP unit, that's the only positive I'll give him.

He did well there, yup.

 

[Jack de la Hoya]

Where was the hit and term confirmed?

 

[The Madrigal]

The 2.0 million cap hit for Weise is very well done by the Flyers. I am a little surprised with the 4 year term but I'm guessing they have him that for a lower AAV. He should really help the Flyers and fit in well with what they are doing.

 

[He Is Knocking]

Nice deal by Hextall. I liked White's PP2 presence in front of the net but that was about it.

 

[Striiker]

One of our biggest issues last year was a terrible bottom 6. This helps and isn't an expensive or long enough contract to realistically hurt us, even if he underwhelms.

 

[tade]

It's not confirmed tho. Or MDZ tweet is the confirmation?

But I like this signing, not the best, but very solid.

 

[Moose Head]

You just got a whole lot of awesome Flyer fans. And it only cost 2mil.

Bob Mckenzie confirmed the signing on the TSN show and speculated on term and cap hit.

Nothing since then.

 

[ottawa]

Great signing

Elliotte Friedman just tweeted the move as well, again no confirmation of years or cash.



And now we have the numbers (even though the tweet itself isn't showing up anymore. Sometimes I think this board hates me.) Somewhat higher than reported. 4 years, $9.4M, AAV $2.35M.

 

[Sonofamitch]

Term and AAV for a 4th liner.

 

[Shrimper]

Term and AAV for a 4th liner.

That's too much for a fourth liner

 

[M.C.G. 31]

AAV is 2.35

 

[Jack de la Hoya]

Term and AAV for a 4th liner.

He's probably playing third line minutes in Philly next year, unless there are other moves.

 

[tade]

Weise is not 4th liner, he hasn't played like 4th liner, he's 3rd line player.

It's either 2.35 or 2.25. I saw 2 different reports.

Not sure what is or isn't out there, but Weise's deal in PHI is four years, $9.4M total, which if my feeble math is right, $2.35M AAV.

 

[TheOllieC]

Quite a bad deal.

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

Weiss is a good one

No, he was deployed with Pacioretty and Desharnais, thus padding his point totals. He is a 20 point at best 4th liner with a penchant for scoring memorable goals.

 

[orangecrush8]

I don't like this. Hope he proves me wrong but this length of deal for a bottom 6 player is not necessary.

 

[TheLegendkiller]

Quite a bad deal.

Not really, its fine.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I said nothing. Not worth it.
