08:18 AM ET 03.08 | For his part, Panthers center Stephen Weiss saw wrist surgery as a last resort, which doesn't make it any easier. A pending free agent, Weiss may have played his final game with the Panthers after more than a decade with the team. Drafted fourth overall at the 2001 draft held at the Panthers' arena in Sunrise, Weiss is in his 11th season with Florida. Weiss said "he wouldn't have written" that Sunday's forgettable loss to Carolina would be his last with the Panthers. Yet, that may have been it for Weiss. And it is something that has crossed his mind. "It kind of burns at me that is how I could be going out," Weiss said. "But that's life sometimes. You have to deal with the cards you're dealt."

Florida. All you can say.

I know this is an extreme long shot since Weiss has stated he would like to hot the free market but.....An injured and unusable Weiss this year still has value, and Tallon might be able to get some kind of low conditional pick in exchange for Weiss's rights. You can't tell me that Detroit or New York or Toronto won't expend something to ensure they have exclusive rights to him before he becomes an unrestricted free agent. Maybe????

Maybe, maybe, but it would've helped if he actually played even remotely decent this year. Most Florida's getting for him after that sorry exhibition he called "playing hockey" is either a bloated contract or a very last round draft pick.

Be Wisse, Steve! Go the FA route. There'll be plenty of teams lining up for your services. Just get well and be ready to play with Pavel in Deeteroit. :-)

so by not playing, is he now an idle-weiss?

Hey now.
Said it three weeks ago - we've seen the last of him. He will be a Leaf, I'm betting. Too bad he won't be back this year for a deadline move and a run at the Cup. God knows he's put in the time and effort.

With realignment next year, Tallon may not want to deal with Toronto and Detroit as they'll be in the same division.
For Weiss, he may not want to sign with the Rags as that's where forwards go to die.

Right, but judging by his recent play he has already "died".
Your just Nash-jealous.

But not Scott Gomez - he scored a goal the other night and is considered untouchable by the Sharks' brass.

Visited the Canada exhibit at Epcot. Thumbs up to Canada for Moosehead beer and the drunken concoction known as "poutine."
