However, the Hurricanes went on to clinch the championship in Game 7. Weight returned to the Blues as a free agent for the 2006-07 season where he played his 1000th game. He went on to play for the Anaheim Ducks, then was signed to the New York Islanders in July 2008. Weight announced his retirement in the 2010-11 season and was subsequently hired by the Islanders as an assistant coach and special assistant to the GM.
