What a fun week for Stephen Weiss discussion in Red Wings land, huh? At first, the news that Pavel Datsyuk's ankle surgery to repair tendon damage done last season while blocking a shot came out. With Datsyuk's return in October questionable, we got news that Weiss could escape the buyout that might come after the Wings failed to move him before the draft. Then we got to June 29th's waiver deadline and learned that Weiss wouldn't have to be placed on Waivers by that day because of the special 5-hour waiver period on June 30th (which is the buyout deadline).
