History
2007-08: Weise, now 20 years old, was not drafted in the first year he declared his eligibility for the NHL Entry Draft. However, after completing his third season as a member of the WHL Swift Current Broncos, the Rangers selected him in the fourth round of the 2008 NHL Draft. Weise, a late bloomer, progressed each year in the WHL. During the 2007-08 season, the big winger played in all situations, led the Broncos in goals and was tied for the team lead in both power play and shorthanded goals.
The recent draft pick was so impressive in both the 2008 Traverse City Rookie Tournament and the Rangers main training camp that the blueshirts signed him to an Entry-Level contract.
Talent Analysis
A hard-working, hard-nosed player, Weise can score and take the body. A traditional power forward, Weise has good hands and is an excellent leader on and off the ice.
"Dale can be used in all situations. He has good size and I see above average skating with good stamina. He can skate, hit and provides toughness." Gordie Clark, Director of Player Personnel.
Future
Weise is expected to play at least one year and most likely more at either the AHL or ECHL level. His work ethic and size will work in his favor, however, the Rangers have many third and fourth line prospects that are ahead of Weise on the depth charts.
