interesting... thought he might end up in Ott to replace Alfie instead of playing with him in Det.

Panthers reporter:
Harvey Fialkov ‏@hfialkov 9s Goodbye to Stephen Weiss who signs with Detroit. #classact

[browna]

12pm now, should see things start to get confirmed like this. Good for Det, though they still need back end help.

[Flash Walken]

Could spell trouble on the Filpula negotiations?

[sureLoss]

Steve Goldstein ‏@goldieonice 14s Stephen Weiss to the Red wings reportedly a done deal.

[Anduril]

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 6s
Stephen Weiss to DET is done. 5 years, $4.9M.

[Yoho]

No wonder they took Barkov at the draft

[Muta]

I actually think that value, for what Weiss can potentially bring, is really reasonable.

[dammage79]

He is going to be a great fit in Detroit.

[trackercowe]

Always liked him, but he's regressed in recent years. Going to be interesting to see what he can do on a better team in Detroit.

[dissentowner]

They are going to have to make some deals, they have to be near or above the cap with him and Alfie.

[you got PHANUEFED]

I think Weiss will finally reach his potential in DET. Good pick up for an aging team.

Personally, I think Stephen Weiss is overrated.

[devo22]

wow ... misses two thirds of the season with injuries, scores a single goal and then gets 24.5m over 5 years.

[JJsChaos]

He's put up consistent numbers for many years on a terrible Panthers team. I wouldn't call this an amazing signing, but it is a good signing.

[kyuss275]

He is a big improvement over Filppula. Not a #1 but a great 2nd line center maybe a 1b/2a center. He plays a 200' game and gives it his all. I am happy for him that he might actually get to play in the playoffs.

....and is probably not even in the top 5 worst contracts of the day. This was a great year to not be pursuing free agents.

Personally, I think he'll do better in Detroit. I think it's a decent signing.

Maybe Iggy will go Detroit. Would be kind of cool if him and Iggy won a cup together
