If I had to make Pairings right now I'd probably put Weegar with either Tanev or Zadorov...
Zadorov because that would basically mean we could just roll three pairings with more or less equivalent talent levels. Everyone is fresher and as a result plays better for the full 60.
or...
With Tanev because then we'd be pairing the guy who's the best zone defender (Tanev) with the guy who (by all accounts) is amazing in transition.
Lot's of options. If we have to move Hanifin I'd rather we do it next offseason to make room for the (fingers-crossed) Huberdeau and Weegar extensions and find some way to move out Monahan or Lucics cap to make any room we need for present additions. The D looks amazing for this season... let's keep it that way.
