According To ESPN.com, There Are Two Doug Weights In The NHL
Doug Weight Signs With Columbus and NY Islanders. Oh Wait, ESPN just sucks

Most NHL fans are familiar with veteran Doug Weight, a longtime Edmonton Oiler who has played for St. Louis and a few other teams of late. But according to ESPN.com, there are two different Doug Weights playing in the NHL!
When I first saw this, I thought no, how could this be? I checked the headshots of each player; this other Doug Weight was in fact different, also eight years younger. He had just signed with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Then once I glanced over at the amount of points Mr. “Doug Weight” had scored last year, I realized it was Kristian Huselius.
Great editing job to all the boys and girls running ESPN. I truly give you a double thumbs up for this. You would think they might have seen the mistake right away, seeing thousands of people are checking the 2008 Free Agent Signing Tracker page a few times every hour. But no…
But congratulations to the Blue Jackets on signing Doug Weight Kristian Huselius. Huselius is locked up for four years at a $4.75 million average per year. Coming off of a 66 point season last year in playing with Jarome Iginla, Huselius should be a great deal of help to Captain Rick Nash.
Of course, I cannot say Rick Nash ever again without directing you to this video:
The Huselius deal was one that HAD to be made after Columbus traded away their second best player in forward Nikolai Zherdev and up and coming center Dan Fritsche for two defensemen from the Rangers.
Columbus does seem to be moving in the right direction though. They also acquired RJ Umberger from Philadelphia and Raffi Torres from Edmonton, two players who have proven their offensive talent.
