So I heard, like many the interview with the Florida Press guy and likely the only one down there.
It seems Weeger is the head scratcher for them as a 1st pair guy who "with power play time" could tag 60 pts! 6'0" 200lbs! The guy from Florida suggested that it may have been his next contract that scared them off and he estimated 6-7 million for Weeger!!!
Remember when they said we'd never replace Giordano?
Did we just replace Gio to some extent?
We have the same group with Zadorov back and Weeger is a real top 4 guy where Gudbranson was a 5-6 guy who did the right thing and took the money...in Columbus he's 2nd on the depth chart.
No matter how you slice this team gave up just 208 goals, 3rd best in the league and while its a team stat the D is certainly stronger than last years.
