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.
That article didn't really show me anything. All it talked about is which years he worked in the NHL, and the only 2 relevant decisions mentioned in that article were basketball.

And as said many times in this thread ... Weisbrod was not well liked around the league. Also kind of weird that as an AGM he was never around...... BB is a social butterfly, if he didn't get to know Weisbrod, its probably not because of BB; its because of Weisbrod.
