We need hockey minds to compliment the stats & legal minds that are running the team. Otherwise we waste this opportunity with bad picks and even worse asset management.

Not sure where you get this idea from. Weisbrod is definitely a hockey guy. Former player and watches hockey for a living. Scouts players with his own eyes.
Chris Snow is the guy in the Flames organization who is the statistical, moneyball type guy who doesn't have a big hockey background.
Maybe you are getting them mixed up?
