I don't think he's signing a contract for less than $7M AAV.
Look at the comps in this article, I'd say the Flames are better off with Weegar than any of those dmen.

I don't get why someone would create a twitter account just to post fake NHL rumors.
Is it really that exciting creating a buzz for about 5 minutes, which is about as long as it takes for folks to sniff you out as a fraud and move on?
Just seems like a gigantic, idiotic waste of time.

What's happening there, is this now a legit rumour of Weegar signing?

I deciphered the URL from the HTML soup USflamesfan accidentally posted, and took a look at the tweet. Basically seems to be a PONTI blowing smoke because he heard the two sides were talking.

Just waiting on some Ryan Leslie eyeballs on Twitter before I really get intrigued.

That's a weird tweet, as the tweet itself claims that they are closing in on a deal. While his reply to someone a couple posts down says that he heard they have sat down for the first time and that it's a good sign. Those are two vastly different things.

Weegar is going to cost a decent amount. Spurgeon is the best comparison, taking away the fact he's the Wild team captain. If looking at a 6-7 year term, the cap hit starts with a 7. To get it to start with a 6, it's 8 years and that number is probably at or above 6.5.
Weegar holds the cards here, even with a slight drop off he will have a big market at UFA.

I think Spurgeon is a decent comparison, but he had 4-5 years of really good production, versus 2 for Weegar. I think that might make some difference.
Also, are we sure the Spurgeon contract is a good one? Not sure how great a value that one is.
