Doug Weight
A former Oiler teammate who helped revive Bill Guerin's career in St. Louis.
Doug Weight played alongside Bill Guerin during their time together with the Edmonton Oilers, not the Pittsburgh Penguins. The source material does not provide any information about Doug Weight's tenure with the Pittsburgh Penguins, his jersey number, playing style, or any specific moments from a Penguins career. Weight is mentioned only once in the source: as a linemate of Guerin's during the 2006-07 season with the St. Louis Blues, where the two played together and Weight helped Guerin revive his career. Without any direct support from the source regarding Weight's time in Pittsburgh, this page must remain brief and strictly factual.

Verified Timeline
Lore & Background
The source mentions Doug Weight only in the context of the St. 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. No information exists in the source about Weight playing for, being traded to, or having any association with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
In Their Own Story
The source does not contain any narrative about Doug Weight with the Pittsburgh Penguins. The only story involving Weight comes from the 2006-07 St. Louis Blues season, where he centered a line with Guerin. 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.
Reader's Guide
Based solely on the source material, Doug Weight's connection to Bill Guerin is limited to their time as teammates on the Edmonton Oilers (prior to Guerin's November 2001 trade to Boston) and later on the St. Louis Blues during the 2006-07 season. The source does not indicate Weight ever played for, was acquired by, or served in any capacity with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Any claims about Weight's Penguins tenure, jersey number, playing style, or role as a 'faceoff specialist' in Pittsburgh are unsupported by the provided text. The source focuses entirely on Guerin's career trajectory, with Weight appearing only as a supporting figure in Guerin's St. Louis revival.
