For nine years he played for the Edmonton Oilers and developed into one of the best playmakers in the NHL. During Weight's time in Edmonton, the strike in the 1994/95 season also fell . Weight used the delayed start of the season for a trip to Germany and played eight games for the Starbulls Rosenheim . The St. Louis Blues signed him for the 2001/02 season . There he formed one of the most dangerous duos with Keith Tkachuk .

During the lockout in the NHL in the 2004/05 season Weight played again in the DEL, this time he joined the Frankfurt Lions towards the end of the season . At the end of the 2005/06 season he moved from the St. Louis Blues to the Carolina Hurricanes with whom he won the 2006 Stanley Cup . He returned to the St. Louis Blues in July 2006 as a free agent and was transferred to the Anaheim Ducks in December 2007 along with Michal Birner and a seven-round suffrage in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft in exchange for Andy McDonald . In early July 2008, Weight signed a contract with the New York Islanders . In October 2009 he became the new captain of the Islanders.

On May 26, 2011 Doug Weight announced his retirement after 19 seasons in the National Hockey League.

At the beginning of the 2011/12 season, Weight moved to the Islanders' management team, where he worked as an assistant coach and assistant to General Manager Garth Snow . In January 2017, after Jack Capuano's dismissal, he took over the post of head coach on an interim basis. After the 2016/17 season, the Islanders confirmed Weights' long-term commitment as head coach. As a result, the American only looked after the Isles for a full season, as he and General Manager Garth Snow were fired in June 2018.
