MJDDawg Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Assistant GM for the Canucks? And source? Just Bob Mackenzie stating it's his belief that Benning will make Weisbrod his AGM of the Canucks. Here's a bit of background on him. Prior relationship is with Benning in Boston and former GM of the Orlando Magic. The guy seems very highly thought of in sports circles. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/from-the-magic-to-flames-to-where-next-for-weisbrod/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunningWild Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 What about Gilman? Does this mean he was responsible for the Flames stellar drafting during those years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magician Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Cool he was with Benning in 2011 and knows what it takes to get a cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I also saw this during the CHI/LA intermission. Nothing concrete, just media speculation. It does have some bite to it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti-Bettman Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I think Bob said Benning is bringing in Weisbrod as another AGM. So I think Gilman will stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocklovich Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Was kind of hoping for Tim Burke since San Jose has drafted pretty well the last few years he has been in that organization but maybe it was a pipe dream. Hopefully this guy is a solid pickup and this isn't just an old pals act from JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebreh Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 fLames fans hate Weisbrod..... not sure if this is good or bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 fLames fans hate Weisbrod..... not sure if this is good or bad. With Burke and Feaster running things, there's no way he was going to have success there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenman92 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 He's the brain behind trading down and taking Jankowski... When they took him, he said he felt he was the best player in the draft and that he will be an impact player in the NHL. Compaired him to Joe Nieuwendyk Here's the story http://sports.nationalpost.com/2012/06/23/nhl-draft-2012-flames-believe-mark-jankowski-is-steal-of-first-round/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
