I think without knowing that for sure it's hard to make reasonable pairs. If Weegar's truly equally strong on both sides, hard not to run Weegar-Tanev as the top pair. But if he's stronger on the right, then Zadorov-Weegar gives us phenomenal depth if they run each pair ~16-18 minutes a night at 5 on 5.

Thing is, I don't think Sutter ever ran Zadorov/Gudbranson equal to the other pairings. and if it cuts down Weegar's minutes, I'm against it. He's the top defenceman on the team.
