IIRC this was Feaster telling the media what Weisbroad said after scouting Janks. I always thought Feaster was deliberately telling this story publicly to remove himself from the responsibility of picking Janks.

Maybe. The talk at least at HF and what the 960 guys said is that King and some others in the organization weren't happy with the pick. It could be Weisbrod wasn't happy about his role in the draft being reduced which is why he didn't really put much of an effort into having a relationship with Burke. Maybe after the Jankowski pick he was a guy King and the owners wanted to get rid of him anyway and it was one of those mutual things. Or maybe he's just one of those guys the walks to the beat of a different drum and does his own thing. Who knows but I'm kind of hoping he goes to the Canucks as one way or another he will be a good hire or a terrible hire and I'm hoping for the latter and it's not that I want him to fail as it's that I want the Canucks to fail.
