Actually I like Weisbrod. He seems like an intelligent person and knows what he wants. Too bad it didn't work out for him here. I am sure the old school Brian Burke doesn't agree with Weisbrod new system that's why he got fired. I am hoping the rumour of him going to Canucks is not true.. I think this rumour started when someone from CP mentioned that Benning used to work with Weisbrod in Boston and JB will bring him along as AGM.

You should read the Feaster/Weisbrod fired thread. He wasn't well liked there.
The reason Burke gave was that returns on trades were not enough, and drafting. When asked about Weisbrod, Burke just said Weisbrod was never around so he didn't really know him. When Peter Mahr was asked, he said Feaster/Weisbrod did not have a lot of respect among their peers in the NHL because they gave off the impression they were smarter then everyone else.
These are just the words from Burke and Peter Mahr, not my personal opinion.
