[News] Weisbroad named VP player personnel in Vancouver

[Vinny01]

Just heard Mackenize say it on tsn

[dammage79]

Makes sense. They probably liked working with eachother in Boston.

[EYE_Overstand]

I thought he was awesome

[Vinny01]

I wonder what all the Vancouver fans who rip the Flames for the Jankowski pick think of this? Feaster made sure to mention Weisbroad said he would be the best player in the draft and tat Weisbroad completely ran that draft.

[Phanuthier]

LOL!

Do it!

[devo22]

good on him for getting another gig in the league.

[Vulcan]

Almost as good as naming Feaster as Asst. GM.

[Caged Great]

That sucks. I hope this is not true.

[Erick Estrada]

Fantastic news. John Weisbrod was all talk. His influence on the draft was reduced after the Jankowski project that was all on him and he was probably the first guy Burke wanted to fire when he walked into the Flames offices. Can't wait for the him to find his can't miss prospects for the Canucks.

how do you know his influence on the draft was reduced?

For all those ripping Wisebrod for the Jankowski pick, please be objective about things. He's also the one responsible for making Gaudreau a Flame.

EDIT - I'm dumb. Forgot he was in Boston still.

Weisbrod was still with Boston that draft.

No he isn't, he joined after the draft.

Crap. Totally forgot. I forgot he said that everyone at the Boston table slammed their fists after the Flames grabbed Gaudreau before them. My bad.

don't feel bad, you're not even close to being the first to make that mistake on here and surely you won't be the last

Cool, they can watch Johnny and suffer.

[Ashasx]

Weisbrod is garbage. Hopefully this is true.

[Jacks]

Wish him well while at the same time wish the Canucks misery. Not sure how that works, don't care.

I think it'd be an awful hire. I found it amusing when some on here were contorting themselves to somehow credit Weisbrod with the Bruins success and I think even less of his abilities after watching the Flames pass up talented players to pick Jankowski and Sieloff at his behest.

About his only qualification seems to be that he has worked with Benning in the past.

[Roof-Daddy]

Well, IMO the Canucks are making all the right moves so far this off season.......and it sucks. Wish they would have held onto Gillis for a couple more years.
