Not saying this is Weisbrod because I have never met him. But everything I heard after his firing led me to the expectation that he is "that guy". And btw, it is ALWAYS a guy like Burke who identifies "that guy" in an organization and gets him the hell out.
LOL, Vlad put it best in the post previous to mine... he was on the Penske file . He was supposed to be the mastermind behind the "best player not in the NHL" and we get caught with our pants down that he can't play center in the NHL. And why was he never in Calgary?
