IIRC, he left Orlando because he wanted to work in hockey long term, not basketball.

Been a couple days, and I am still not too pleased with what's transpired. Especially reading the post about why Burke let go of Weisbrod.

Maybe Weisbrods vision of how to build a hockey team is bunk, but as a fan, I was all settled in and ready to be patient and let him and Feaster try.

If in a couple years we have a team full of big tough dummies that hit everything that wears a different coloured jersey and moves, but can't play a smart, skilled, puck possession game I will be more disappointed than ever in this organization.
