Yep Ekblad was hurt for a bit and played more minutes per game but those minutes still had to be played by someone, and Weegar played 200 more minutes than any other Panther player last season.
He also had 44 points and its funny because he hardly played any powerplay time. He only had about 50 minutes of PP time while playing about 220 minutes of penalty kill, which is more than anyone on the Flames except for Tanev.
We'll see how it plays out but it sure looks like the Flames snagged one hell of a dman here.
Basically going into next season with the same D except they are massively upgrading on Gudbranson. Swapping out a solid #5 for a high end #2.
