You're underselling Weegar a lot here
He's a guy who's been in Norris conversations for the last 2 seasons, and has nearly perfect underlying numbers. He's clearly been hidden well in Florida
I love how big of a step Hanifin and Andersson took last season, but Weegar is arguably our best defenseman now and he's immediately our PP1 D
