Weegar to the Sharks is an interesting thought. I can see why the Sharks are kicking tires on him or a similar dman. Their top defenceman right now are Orlov and Klingberg. 33 and 34. Orlov has a year left after this one. If you're the Sharks, you'd have to hope Dickinson, maybe Luca Cognoni can start stepping into a top 4 role. They are thin depth wise on the back end.
With a bunch of UFA dmen, I'm sure Grier has been having contract chats with some of their agents. So if a guy like Mario Ferraro is saying "look, I want a 6x6 deal"*, might be worth it to explore a better, older, and cost controlled guy like Weegar instead.
*I'm not saying this is what he gets, but I am sure the Sharks foursome of upcoming UFA dmen are all asking for decent raises this offseason.
San Jose has a really interesting trade deadline / offseason to come
