Did NOT see this coming.

I assume Burke is taking over?

Thought maybe this would come at the end of the season, but now? Wow. Didn't expect Weisbrod to go too....

I thought Burke put the team under a transaction freeze...

just when you get the sense that the flames are going in the right direction and putting together the appopriate plan for this rebuild they do this. I just don't get it.

If the top brass didn't like the drafting/development of youngsters, why don't they get rid of Hartley at the same time too?

I don't get the Weisbrod firing. Our drafting seemed to dramatically improve when he showed up.

Judging by the timing, I'm pretty sure it was Sureloss that fired him.

Woah, this is a pretty big surprise. The timing just seems really strange?

I must say I was a fan of Feaster and Weisbrod and have been happy with the direction they've taken the team (on the rebuild front), I like the prospects that have come in and the way that development systems have been setup within the organization. I wish them luck in the future and hope they can land other gigs.

In saying that, I am also a fan of Brian Burke and if he's the guy now, I'm excited to let him get in there and do his thing.

That's not really the point of any of the replies so far.

Shock at the timing, during the trade freeze and what not

Do not like.

All the moves in the last 8 months have been good.

This makes me extremely nervous about the direction of the team.

i suspect hartley's out before the draft, if not much sooner.

Wow, I was expecting Feaster to last at least until the end of the season. Kind of harsh to do it right around Christmas. I wonder how long Hartley has...
