Every GM needs his own right hand man. Gilman is a respected capologist so he would certainly be kept over Henning. Not sure what Henning brings besides having Cup rings and coaching experience. Maybe he will join the Oilers.
I think Weisbrod would be a quality addition to any NHL team's scouting or management staff. Some people talk about Benning and Weisbrod as if they were nobodies who happened to work for a successful organization. Meanwhile, these two men have held top positions for successful clubs and are considered respected men in hockey.
I've said it many times in Feaster threads that Feaster not being a good talent evaluator is a problem. He's the boss, yet he has no way to cross-check the work of his advisors. All along it just seems that whatever Weisbrod said pretty much goes for Feaster. On other teams this won't be a problem. You want a guy who is going to be out there scouting games and coming back and who will come back and not be afraid to speak his mind. With Feaster it's like you like him that much John? Okay we will go get him. With others it will be like you like him that much John? Okay I will make a trip down to see him.
