Because of the cap issues. We have like what one million free? Weegar is like just over 3 million cap. Good luck finding a player as impactful as him for 3.5 million who also isn’t a pending FA. But then people are like oh yeah let’s bundle Dube or Valimaki with him and get a 5+ million dollar player! But you now have to find cap to pay the player for shortening your bench and this is not EA NHL where you can trade multiple lesser players for one great one.
