Some rumours were that he was in charge of the returns the flames got for jbo and Iggy. Can't blame him or Feaster for Iggy return considering the boston offer was not bad. The jbo return was crap. The only saving grace is that they got their man in Poirier at the draft and that the av's took acid the night before they offered Burke a 2nd for Berra.
The other rumour, which actually came out of Weisbrods mouth, was the draft year when they picked Janko. Weisbrod said that if Janko was not available at 18 when they traded down they would have taken seiloff. Maybe he was just hyping him up, but if true that alone could get you fired.

Believe it was hyping him up. If you listen to Todd Button's interview at the draft with the wrap-up, he gets asked that very question. He actually refuted it, saying something like: "Well, there were some other guys we really liked like Finn, ..."
If I remember correctly, it almost sounded like the Flames preferred Finn over Sieloff. One thing I really disliked a lot about Feaster was him feeling like he has to 'hype up' the draft picks, and it seemed it flowed into Weisbrod as well. Button's interviews offer way much more insight I found.
