Wow, I disagree with you guys both, majorly. I was extremely happy with the Weegar signing and pleasantly surprised with the number. And he's only going to get better as becomes more accustomed to the new system.
I think he will be our best defensemen for a good chuck of that contract, where most teams are paying $8-$10mil for top pairing guys these days.
