Stephen Weiss doesn't want to talk contract with the Florida Panthers until his present deal expires, but he would like to remain with the organization for the long term. He has one year remaining before becoming an unrestricted free agent. "I want to end my career with the Panthers," Weiss said. "This organization has been very good to me. We're starting to see brighter days ahead with the kids we have coming up and some of the draft picks we've stockpiled. There's nothing but good days ahead for this team. I believe that. I would like to stay and be a part of it. But at the end of the day, this is a business. And if it comes time to move on, maybe that's the case too." Weiss just wants to focus on playing and he doesn't want negotiations to become a distraction, so he wants to put contract talks on hold until the summer. GM Dale Tallon isn't concerned that Weiss will leave. The Florida center said he would like to play in Europe, but because of his contract situation he's going to stay put.
