I had a fool of a neighbour once who took out the telepost in the middle of his basement because it broke up the space in his rec room. When I saw it (after he sold the house but before anyone moved in), the whole main floor was sagging, all the kitchen cabinets were out of true, and one good snowfall would have been enough to collapse the roof and bring the whole place down. The only thing keeping the house up was a jack that the new owner put in to hold up the main floor beam until he could do proper repairs.
I think Weegar is the telepost holding up the Flames' D right now. Removing Andersson will weaken the whole structure; removing Weegar would collapse it. I sincerely hope they keep Weegar so Parekh can have an on-ice role model to help him learn to play the hard minutes against top-line opponents.

Ya trading both should ensure that the Flames are drafting top 4 in the 2029 draft, which I guess could be a good thing depending on how you view such things.
