I would actually disagree with the Brodie - Weegar comparison. Brodie was an excellent skater during his time as a Flame, Weegar not so much.
As a result Brodie was much more noticeable during the games because he has the ability to either skate a puck out of the zone or pass it out. Hence a gaff when he's skating it out will be much more noticeable.
Weegar on the other hand, his gaffs are ill timed passes or forcing plays/passes that aren't there. These are the plays that I'm referring to which have been disappointing and shouldn't be happening, especially coming from someone who was expected to challenge Andersson as the #1 coming into this season.
