Also, unless they are miles apart (which it doesn't seem like) or Weegar says or does things that make it clear he doesn't want to be here (and the fact they've been negotiating hard makes that seem unlikely) what are the odds they can't finish off a deal later?
It is clear in hindsight that Gaudreau and Tkachuk both wanted to go south. It's certainly not clear with Weegar. who is, after all, Canadian, and from a city with worse weather and that's more boring than Calgary.
