Doug Weight

Verified Timeline

Lore & Background

Louis Blues' 2006-07 season. After Guerin signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Blues on July 3, 2006, he was placed on a line with Weight, a former teammate from their Edmonton Oilers days. This reunion proved fruitful: Guerin 'revived his career, easily eclipsing his disappointing goal-scoring mark from the 2005-06 season.' Weight's presence as a playmaking center directly contributed to Guerin's resurgence, which ultimately led to Guerin being named to the 2007 All-Star Game to represent the Blues.

That partnership produced enough offense to earn Guerin an All-Star selection and a subsequent trade to the San Jose Sharks on February 27, 2007.
