HabsRuleForever Posted February 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 I guess he wanted Frolin? In order to dump Schlemko he had to take Weise back? Weise was the main target & MB is back to hiding behind plants again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony5775 Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Not really familiar with Folin. But it seems the trade was about him. As Alzner gets sent back down and Folin will report to the Habs. Weise goes straight to Laval. Weise should thank David Desharnais for making him a 14 goal scorer,which turned him into a millionaire. He has never played well since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramcharger440 Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Like what i have read about the new Dman and as for Weise he is an ok 4th liner and he is going to Laval so we may not even see him. this could be a set up trade for something else.

PuckPundit Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 I'm just thinking how much they're going to pay Weise? I thought the reason they let him go in the first place was because they were unwilling to raise his pay above $1 million +. Weise then got the increased salary from Philadelphia. On paper, I would like to believe that Weise is better than any of our 4th liners - Chaput, Peca, Deslaurier, even Agostino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maas_art Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 I think its basically a depth move for the playoffs. Weise is not great but is probably on part with some of our 4th liners. As long as Weise is in instead of DLo, not as well as, Im ok with it. Plus who knows, he has played his best hockey in a habs uni. Folin is probably here because Juulsen looks to be done for the season. We may be strong at RD but after Weber & Petry we have Benn and then... who? Folin is basically some insurance on that bottom pair RD. We didnt give up anything, we didnt really gain much although you could certainly argue we got the better players back. Folin is UFA this summer. Schlemko and Weise both have one more year so its pretty much a wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuddyWaterMoose Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 “It feels absolutely surreal,” Weise said when contacted by Sportsnet. “It’s just crazy. I don’t even know what to feel right now. The first time I got traded to Montreal it was a dream come true, and ever since I left I just haven’t felt like the same player. My emotion–it just hasn’t felt the same since I left. To come back now, it just feels so surreal. I’m so excited. This is where I’ve always wanted to be; the team, the fans, the ownership, the coaches, just everything, it’s everything I want to be a part of.” It certainly doesn't hurt to have a player who loves being a Montreal Canadien. I thought he was a decent hockey player when he was a Hab last time. Hopefully he can bounce back and be a solid contributor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_T_L Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Weise was decent his first time around in Montreal. Not sure how well the older version will do. The biggest problem his last go around was his over usage by MT in situations he shouldn't have been used in. MT had a love affair going with him and it's likely the reason he wasn't resigned by MB. Can't play him if he's not on the roster. Similar situation with Desharnais. Our 4th line was really exposed in the Leaf game and were clearly mismatched. An upgrade is most definitely needed. You would think it wouldn't be tough to upgrade over a guy like DLO but CJ keeps throwing him out there. Sure he hits more then anyone else, but sometimes taking that extra effort to go out of your way to nail a guy, leaves everybody else to cover while he gets his butt back in the play. He doesn't have the wheels to do it, and you can often see him trailing well behind. If Weise does make the cut, i certainly can't see him being used in the same manner he was with MT. Even if he came back as strong as before, i can't see him in our top 9 or on the PP. Then again,,,, our PP has been so brutal i wouldn't count it out.

jennifer_rocket Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Yeah... The trade feels like a wash. I am also doubtful it's a precursor to anything else happening. I liked Weise during his first stint with Montreal. We'll see if he even plays any minutes with the big club this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember how he drove Lucic nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed Weise when he was here before. Let's hope he can have a solid finish to the season and help us in the post-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26NCounting Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 So we give up a promising young player (Agostino) to get an old slow offensively challenged player (Weise) I swear MB just amazes me, please let a Zamboni run him over soon to save us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 27 (in 2 months). He is now joining his 5th NHL team. He's played 58 nhl games for us, Calgary, St Louis and Boston. I think you're really grasping at straws to call him a "promising young player." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
