[3] As Weiss' uncle Steve Spott was friends with National Hockey League player Adam Graves, he also grew up idolizing the forward.

[5] Weiss continued to post eye-popping numbers in his sophomore season by recording 87 points and earning a top-five position among North American skaters.

[8] After the Plymouth Whalers were eliminated from the 2002 OHL playoffs, Weiss signed a professional tryout agreement to finish the 2001–02 season with the Panthers.

[13] During the Panthers preseason games, head coach Mike Keenan and general manager Rick Dudley expressed their concerns about his ability to play at the NHL level.

[17] This act drew backlash from members of the media and Weiss' agent who criticized Keenan for playing "mind games" with a young player.

[1] While Keenan encouraged him to spend the offseason solely working with the Panthers' strength and conditioning coach, Weiss agreed to split his time between his personal trainer in Toronto and South Florida.

[25] In part due to the signing of Nathan Horton, Weiss was re-assigned to the Panthers American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the San Antonio Rampage, to start the 2003–04 season.

[39] He was swiftly promoted to the Rampage's top line with Juraj Kolnik and Gregory Campbell and finished December with seven goals and 13 assists.

[43] He finished the regular season with seven goals and nine assists for Chicago to help the Wolves clinch their franchise's first West Division title.

[47] He stayed out of the Panthers lineup for the remainder of the season but practiced with the team in April in case they qualified for the 2006 Stanley Cup playoffs.

[49] The following season, Weiss returned to the Panthers lineup, but again missed significant time due to knee and shoulder injuries.

[50] Weiss, looking to improve on his showing, followed up his efforts by recording 13 goals and 29 assists in 74 games, despite missing time due to the flu and shoulder injuries.

[51] After 637 career games without a postseason appearance, Weiss helped the Panthers qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since the 1999-2000 season.

[1] On July 5, 2013, Weiss signed a five-year, $24.5 million contract as an unrestricted free agent with the Detroit Red Wings.

[56] He was assigned to the Red Wings AHL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins, to start the 2014–15 season but was recalled back to the NHL on October 30, 2014.
