He skates awkwardly and moves his body in a style that with the wrong timing or bump likely leads to injury. I think you capitalize on his value before contracting yourself to him at over $3MM because he will never be what Hanifin delivers and if we are being totally honest Weegar is a relative unknown at this stage.

There's lots of room in Kylington's game for growth, and I think he could become a true top-pairing defenseman if he shores up the weaknesses in his game. Giving up on him now would be a mistake IMO.
