I haven't seen much of Weise but at least he would still drop the gloves. Remember when Marchand clotheslined Erhroff then threw a hipcheck on Daniel? Oreo was on the ice. Sure Ballard got to Marchand first but when McQuaid went after Erhroff (who was injured), Oreo did squat.
Even in the last preseason game, after Oreo hit RNH, it was Lapierre that had to stand up for him against Theo Peckham.
Weise has better hockey IQ and has more offensive upside while Oreo is the better skater. But what it comes down to is that I think Gillis and AV wanted someone who would stick up for their teammates. Oreo can be a legit NHLer but he needs to realize he has to do what it takes consistently to play in the big leagues.
