It sure seems like they can only keep one of Weegar or Andersson. Weegar is already signed, cheaper, and they fill very similar roles on and off ice. The haul you’d get for Andersson this summer strengthens the club that you’ll be able to put in front of Dustin Wolf when he’s 26-34, when they can really do all their damage.
With Brusty knocking on the door, and Huska directly comparing him to Andersson, I’d say he’s the Ras replacement.
But Parekh is the most jaw-dropping offensive talent I’ve seen the Flames draft since Johnny. I literally stopped scouting him at one point ahead of the draft because I thought there was no way he was making it passed Chicago.
(And he shouldn’t have)
IMO, he’s his own thing.
