TEH ECONOMY.What exactly has he accomplished in four years to justify a promotion?
TEH ECONOMY.What exactly has he accomplished in four years to justify a promotion?
So, because he was involved in a plan which failed completely because of the incompetence of he and Benning - but the NHL rewarded their failure and incompetence with high draft picks - he should be promoted?
What exactly has he accomplished in four years to justify a promotion?
Did it fail though?
Make the playoffs? Check. Happened in Year 1.
Get younger? Check. This is one of the youngest teams we’ve ever seen.
Get faster? Check. This is also one of the faster teams in the NHL.
Get more skilled? Check. Many talented young players in the system.
Get deeper? Check. Prospect pool is as deep as it has ever been which will lead to roster depth as they begin to mature.
Get elite talent? Check at every position. Boeser and Pettersson can rip the puck better than anyone in the league. Hughes looks like he will be a force in the NHL. Demko also an elite goaltending prospect.
Get character guys? Check. We got rid of the Kassians and acquired good stand up guys like Gudbranson and drafted high character kids.
Draft well? Homerun picks like Pettersson and Gaudette show that the drafting has been excellent.
In light of these points, the position of the franchise is extremely better than it was at this time in 2014, when Weisbrod was hired and he is a big reason for this.
You have to think this is coming out of Benning/Green camps. The president job being open has to make them nervous. Aquilini's prone to impulsively latching on to new hockey execs like he did with Gillis. You think someone like Dean Lombardi would come in and say they're committed to working with the current staff? At best they'd get an "evaluation" year before inevitably being fired, like Nonis did in Shanahan's first year in Toronto.So, because he was involved in a plan which failed completely because of the incompetence of he and Benning - but the NHL rewarded their failure and incompetence with high draft picks - he should be promoted?

Did you pick up your "check" from the Aqualini Group yet? Cmon dude, this team has been pushed to make the playoffs for the last 3 years and ended up with the worst record in hockey over that span. You sound like a fool trying to prop this guy up. Enough.
Any poster here could have been hired as GM, done a bad job managing the team, missed the playoffs badly, and then had the team in exactly the same position by taking the consensus choice with the high picks given to them by the league.
An intelligent animal could be trained to spend all the available money, come in last place standing wise, and pick from a list determined by a potato who to draft based on whom is available. This bottlenose dolphin would do a similarly good job.
This isn't even hyperbole. Anyone who doesn't think they could do at least as good a job as Benning has done, has debilitating low self esteem.

My guess is Weisbrod runs the business and revenue side of the business....that's more in line with his previous experience in pro sports.
The position this franchise is in now vs. When he was hired. Pretty simple.
