Stephen Weiss is looking forward to playing for Detroit after spending parts of 11 seasons with the Florida Panthers. Weiss is 30 years old, but has only been to the playoffs once. That's in contrast with the Detroit Red Wings, who will be attempting to make the postseason for the 23rd consecutive campaign. "Just walking in (to Joe Louis Arena) this morning and seeing the pictures and all the history here, it's something you don't have in Florida," Weiss said. "Right away it hits you. Just going into the arena is pretty special. I've only played here a few times in my career and I've enjoyed it thoroughly, the history here. It's so awesome." Weiss is projected to skate alongside Johan Franzen.
