Vancouver Canucks announce hiring of former Flames front office type John Weisbrod. Too bad for Vancouver.
Calgary media must really not like this guy

Can somebody find the 2012 draft video where Weisbrod says that if Jankowski doesn't pan out, the blame is on him?

I don't believe that what was said.
I believe he advised Feaster to trade down, and said if it doesn't work out it was on him. Implying that if they traded down and Jankowski still wasn't there it was his fault.

That's not what I remember.
I remember it being in-between picks and the Flames were waiting to go on stage, waiting with jersey in hand just before they picked Jankowski.

looking forward to Vancouver media dredging up stories about how he selected Dwight Howard over Emeka Okafor in the 2004 NBA draft, therefore NHL personnel expertise.

The STH meeting is tomorrow I will see if he is around. Decent place to introduce him I guess.
Interesting move, I don't really know what he did here in his time. One story says he was responsible for all the picks and the next one says just a few were his. Vancouver is in a tough spot. I imagine Benning and Weisbrod are gone before any of their picks make much of an impact.

Presumably alienated staffs around the NHL with his cleverness.

The last guy the Calgary media really didn't like went on to win two Stanley Cups in three years with LA. If guys like Francis are trashing this move, that almost serves as a vindication of the hire all by itself.

Francis trashes everyone who wouldn't give him the time of day. the real Calgary media isn't Eric Francis.

I dislike Francis as much as the next guy but the guys on 960 kind of mirrored Francis the day he and Feaster were fired by Burke that Weisbrod was not well received in some NHL circles. It was really odd because nobody ever said anything bad about the guy and the moment he was fired the comments started coming out. I believe he wasn't even well liked within the Bruins organization.

I was hoping it would be Feaster hired as Asst. GM but I guess he's got a big job in Florida.
