I think it has to be higher now than it will ever be again. What are the chances his next 3 seasons are his best three vs the last 3? So you'd be trading his best seasons of a contract that's already very good value. There is injury and total dollar risk that will devalue the asset. But the tradeoff is getting a top pair guy who can play either side at a very attractive number.
I like Weegar and what he brings. I'd keep him around one more year to help break in Parehk and likely fill some of the void losing Rasmus could create. But honestly he has to be traded next year if the Flames ever want to be anything but a team finishing in a Wild Card spot every second year.
