The number of assassinations (character) going on here these days is staggering. First he was called Weisfraud by Turek fan now he's not well liked within the Bruins organization?
One thing I could believe is that Weisbrod was not well received in some NHL circles. Thing is Feaster relied on Weisbrod and Weisbrod probably walked around acting like he was GM. Reminds me of the story Feaster told of Brian Burke on his blog. when Feaster was first hired as AGM for the Lightning I quote: “Jaybird, you do what you want to do, but the seats at the table are reserved for the managers. See those seats back there against the wall? Those seats are for the assistant GMs. Now, you do what you want, but I will tell you this, if you stay at the table your colleagues are going to be pretty (expletive) sour with you.”

Now that was more than a decade ago, but it's possible that some attitudes have not changed. It's still an old boys club. If Weisbrod was acting like a GM, I could see why that didn't sit well with some NHL managers. As for Weisbrod being disliked within the Boston organization, the top guys (Chiarelli and Benning) obviously liked him. But Weisbrod did get promoted quickly and when you rise quickly within an organization there's always going to be some people who dislike you for it.
