Flyers' Weise: Trade to Blackhawks 'a disaster'

Chicago has been a kind destination to many NHLers - even when the stay is fleeting. That wasn't the case, however, for Dale Weise.

Weise, who brokered a long-term agreement with the Philadelphia Flyers this summer in free agency, labeled his stint with the Blackhawks "a disaster."

"Because I played like five minutes a night," Weise told Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer. "It's pretty tough to do anything when you play so little. It was a new experience for me."

Weise isn't completely accurate with his usage in Chicago (he took almost 10 minutes nightly before losing about 90 seconds, on average, in four playoff appearances). But, suffice it to say, he expects more ice in Philadelphia.
