Weinrich was well-honored when he joined the Devils. He was an NCAA East Second-Team All-American at the University of
Maine, and was the Eddie Shore Award winner in 1990 while playing for Utica.
The honors would continue in 90-91, earning an spot on the NHL All-Rookie team. He would be the first Devil to earn that.
In 1992, though, his bouncing around would begin with his trade to Hartford. In November of 1993, he was traded to Chicago
as part of a three-team deal that ultimately saw Steve Larmer become a Ranger. He would also see time with the Canadiens,
the Flyers, the Blues, and the Canucks before retiring in 2006.
All the movement wasn't because of bad play. He was just in high demand; he was a very solid top 4 defenseman and constant
choice to play for the US National Team.
He became a coach for the AHL's Portland Pirates the year after he retired. Midseason, though, he signed a tryout contract
with them and finshed the season playing, as well as playing 52 games in 07-08.
