Weise posted a shocking 14 goals and 26 points with Montreal two years ago, offering hope that he could rise out of the bottom-six role in which he's been typecast as a gritty, relatively low-talent winger, but that was the high point. Things haven't been nearly as rosy since, as he managed one point in a 15-game stint with the Blackhawks following a midseason trade in 2015-16, then came to Philadelphia last season and put up a mere 15 points in 64 games. With a light role surely on tap again this year and the 29-year-old coming off elbow surgery, there’s essentially no fantasy appeal here.

Weise is a fourth-liner who made a big impact on the Canadiens after he was acquired from Vancouver. He scored three goals in 16 games with Montreal after needing 44 games with Vancouver to score the same amount. He then added three goals and seven points in 17 playoff games, including two game-winners. He's a high-character guy who can give the Canadiens a little touch on the fourth line and at 25, still has much in the tank.

Weise spent another season as a fourth-line grinder for the Canucks, appearing in 42 games in 2012-13 while seeing 9:33 minutes of ice time per night. He was re-signed this offseason to assume the same role this year.

Weise appeared in 68 games for the Canucks last season, finishing with eight points (4 G, 4 A) while averaging just over eight minutes of ice time per-game. The 24-year-old winger was re-signed this offseason and will return to Vancouver to play a similar fourth-line role with the team.

Weise spent 73 games with the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL) last season. He has proven to be adept at scoring goals as well as dishing assists at the minor-league level. Last season his penalty minutes soared to 114 - from 64 the season before. With a little more seasoning in the minors, he could be ready for a part-time role with the parent club sooner than later.
