Weegar to me looks like he'd come in around 6.5M per year, using Hampus Lindholm, Faulk as comparable players. Maybe more if using Spurgeon at 7.575M.
Then like others have said, something has to give in the back end. This puts pressure on the Kylington negotiation as he is not guaranteed top 4 any more, outside of a Hanifin trade, which if the goal is Weegar, Andersson, Kylington as the 3 to build around long term maybe you move now to avoid losing him cheap.
Or if you keep them all in for now, maybe you move Valimaki to get an upgrade up front?
Interesting options coming up for the team

Huberdeau is 29 so if 7 years is be on the table 9+ will be called for I would think. Last 4 years he's scored 386 pts in 286 games very consistent and misses very few games. He may not be career pt. a game however the past four years he's been a 1.2 pt. per game first line forward by any measure.
Weeger shoots right so you have Andersson, Tanev and Weeger on that side.
Hanafin, Zadorov and Kjillington as lefties with MacKay as the best bet along with Meloche as next up to bat?
If they don't ultimately trade a D thats a really solid starting 6 defense and some depth.
Still astounded Treliving pulled this rabbit out of a hat.
