Daniel Weiss

History
2007-08: The younger brother of Eisbaren Berlin sensation Alexander Weiss, Daniel spent this past season playing for a number of teams. Aside from his 14 appearances in the big leagues, he saw time with four other teams, two of which are part of the Berlin organization. After a short appearance in the DNL where Alex proved to be just too good, he was permanently moved up to Berlin's representative in Germany's 3rd league – a men's professional league. There he turned heads with his mature and heady play, while not being a pushover, as his 75 penalty minutes attest.
Perhaps even more impressive were his international appearances, scoring well for a German team too strong for the Division 1A U20 championship while effectively holding his own at the Division 1 U18 competition, which featured many of the young players who will be drafted this summer.
Talent Analysis
His strengths lie, according to U18 coach Jim Setters, in the important little aspects of the game, such as taking face-offs, reading the game, setting up teammates and displaying good puck possession skills.
Future
Judging by his rate of progress to this point as well as that of his slightly older brother, it is to be assumed that the Berlin organization is no doubt planning on giving Weiss every opportunity to become an integral part of their champion DEL team as soon as he proves capable.
