100% agree with all of this. Someone will pony up for Weegar.
I think what the Flames need to do is this:
- Try extending Weegar. If you can get him to sign, then do it without hesitation.
- Ask Hanifin his contract demands. If they’re outlandish, maybe explore trading him. We can always sell him at the draft, especially if we can sign Weegar.
This is the only year we will have the luxury of a great defense, especially on paper. Every defender on the Flames is at a bargain level contract, with maybe the exception of Zadorov. I think Weegar will wait it out, at least until the 2023 season hits.
