Sharks move on from Doug Wilson Jr., hire Doug Weight as new advisor

The San Jose Sharks and newly appointed general manager Mike Grier announced that former NHLer Doug Weight has been hired as a hockey operations advisor on Monday. With this news, long time scout and advisor with the team, Doug Wilson Jr., has been let go.

Weight's role will be directly under Grier's supervision, involving player personnel, player acquisitions, drafting, and development. He does have previous experience in hockey operations with the New York Islanders.

Doug Wilson Jr. had been a part of the team's organization for 10 years, and spent four as the director of scouting.

"I want to thank Doug for his work in the Sharks organization for the past ten seasons, and especially leading up to last week's NHL Draft. We wish him the best in his future endeavors."

The Sharks have plenty to think about this offseason in trying to turn this team around, but it's going to take a lot of moves, studying, and find the right chemistry between the team's players.
