As crazy as it may sounds, I was more excited to watch MacKenzie Weegar than Huberdeau going into this season. After having watched a few Florida games, I thought Weegar stood out more and made more of an impact towards both ends of the ice. His skating and puck moving ability is obviously excellent as we would've expected, but I was shocked to see how physical he was for a finesse guy. I think I said in the summer that I would've been more comfortable re-signing Weegar than Huberdeau and after last night (albeit one game), I think I'm even more so convinced. He was fabulous out there, big fan.
