It just makes too much sense putting your best two D-men together and giving us a truly elite pair.
Also Weegar is signed for a long-time, might as well find out early if there's chemistry there and if there is.. we have a top pair solidified for the forseeable future.
These conversations kind of remind me a bit of the Gaudreau/Tkachuk discussions about putting them on different lines to spread out the offence, but it wasn't until we saw them together with Lindholm and loaded up one line that the team really looked dangerous. It's not apples to apples, of course.
Also should probably mention I'm talking next season, maybe see them in camp and go from there. I doubt it happens this year but wouldn't be dissapointed to see it tried if we're out of it.

Tkachuk-Lindholm-Gaudreau was put together to end that awful covid season, and after all 3 had down years they lit it up to end the season. The Flames eliminated at the time, but still they showed the chemistry.
Coming into camp they got split up, but quickly put back together when they realized Coleman wasn't a 1st line player.
We can't discount if they show chemistry down the stretch here. Gives an early look for camp, even if the games are meaningless. I remember Jankowski having a great game vs Vegas to end the year and Gulutzan throwing water on it. Garbage stuff.
