Report: 'Very little contract talk' between Canadiens, Weise

Dale Weise has been one of the few bright spots for the Montreal Canadiens this season, but he could find himself playing for another team by the trade deadline on Feb. 29.

There has been "very little contract talk" between the pending unrestricted free agent's camp and general manager Marc Bergevin, reports Darren Dreger on TSN's "Insider Trading" segment Tuesday.

Should Weise be made available on the trade market, indications are that there will certainly be interest in his services.

"He is a pending unrestricted free agent and based on his performance in the regular season, and the fact that traditionally - or at least recently - for the Canadiens, he's a decent playoff performer. Absolutely, there will be interest," Dreger said. "If Bergevin decides that he's not going to engage contractually, and he is going to put him on the market, I'll tell you this much: If Weise hits the market, there will be teams that will want him."

Weise has scored a career-high 13 goals in 53 games this year, and has recorded 56 points in 149 games over three seasons since joining Montreal.

The 27-year-old is in the final year of a two-year, $2-million contract.
