I appreciate all the deserved love Weegar is getting in this thread. Guy has had two fantastic seasons with the Flames (and one good one), and still seems to be getting better.
His later bloom, high work ethic and two-way game has a lot of similarities to Gio--who put up his career best at 35. Although I think Parekh is going to quickly take over the number 1 power play, Weegar will likely continue to far outperform his contract value.
I was a bit wishy washy about trading Andersson away, but Weegar's leadership and continued high level play really does give the Flames some flexibility to not have to overpay Rasmus.
