03/05/2013 11:17 Stephen Weiss done for season with wrist injury, likely done as a Panther
Florida Panthers center Stephen Weiss has had a really tough start to the season and he's not going to get the chance to turn it around. Wrist surgery will end his season and likely his time as a Panther.
Stephen Weiss enters the final season of his current contract looking to build upon a productive 2011-2012 season that saw him light the lamp 20 times and chip in with 37 helpers. The veteran centerman reached the 20 goal plateau for the third-straight season and will once again be looked upon to lead the Panthers. His consistency leaves a bit to be desired, as 15 of his season's 57 points came in five separate three-point games. Weiss, who developed strong chemistry with Kris Versteeg, has hit the 50-point mark three seasons in a row and by all indications, a fourth is within reach. Although his points tend to come in bunches, Weiss is a safe option in the later rounds of deeper leagues, especially if he can challenge 20 goals again. (Updated 8/14/12)
