Stephen Weiss said it was an "easy decision" to sign with the Red Wings. He agreed to a five-year, $24.9 million deal. "It was a pretty easy decision to come and play for Mr. (Ken) Holland and Mr. (Mike) Babcock and the Red Wings organization," said Weiss. "It's been a culture of winning over the years. Their goal every year is to win a Stanley Cup." Weiss made the playoffs one time in his 10 years with the Panthers. He'll slide in as the Wings' number-two center.
