I think it just draws out the Flames' best offer and I think it will get done. Still lots of time.

I agree. The numbers thrown out in Free Agency this year would scare me if I was Weegar. And with the depth on our blue line there is nothing stopping him from getting number 4 ice time.
I think it just makes too much sense for both sides to get it done, and if it doesn’t it because he doesn’t want to sign here.
