That should help offset the loss of Tkachuk, having that added offensive push from the D but without taking away from their defensive abilities because Weegar is no slouch defensively either.

Also Tkachuk was nearly a non-factor in important games so subtracting him doesn't lower the needle up front when the stakes get higher.
If Weegar can factor in positively at all the trade-off is an outright win.
Still could use another top 6 option.
