The Florida Panthers are negotiating with Stephen Weiss in the hopes of inking him before he becomes an unrestricted free agent. "We're trying to get something done," Panthers GM Dale Tallon said. "You only get one shot at being a free agent and we're trying to do the best we can for both parties. If I can come up with the right number, well, that's fine. We'll go through [Sunday] and then make a decision next week." Weiss had four points and 25 penalty minutes in just 17 games last season. Before that he had recorded between 49 and 61 points in each of his previous four campaigns.
