Stephen Weiss: Bought Out by Red Wings
The Red Wings bought out the remaining three years on Weiss's contract Tuesday, MLive.com's Ansar Khan reports.
ANALYSIS
The Red Wings will owe $16 million to Weiss, who was appeared in just 78 games during his two seasons with the team as a result of injury. He showed that he still had some offensive ability in his repertoire when healthy last season (nine goals, 25 points in 52 games), but at 32 years old, it's doubtful that he'll reemerge as a 50-point scorer in the remaining years of his career. Weiss will become an unrestricted free agent and isn't likely to command a hefty salary on the open market.

Weiss' first season in Detroit could not have gone much worse, as a sports hernia limited him to 26 games. He also was ineffective when healthy, only scoring four points. He'll have something to prove in 2014-15, and the Red Wings are hoping he can return to the days when he'd score 50 to 60 points a year. They will give him another shot at one of the top center spots, but Weiss clearly needs to show more than he did last season. It’s probably wise to avoid drafting him in most leagues, and instead pick him off of waivers should he show the makings of a comeback year.
