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
Time to move on from Valimaki he has had plenty of chances and not shown nearly enough. Get what you can for him and maybe it will give him a chance of a fresh start. I think we will regret it immensely if we move Kylington he made huge steps last year and can only get better.
