While I don't think Florida necessarily told him he would be traded, it sounds like this wasn't as much of a shock for him as it was for Huberdeau. Given their cap situation it looks highly unlikely they were going to be able to retain Weegar even if they didn't trade him. If he like skiing or the great outdoors, then Calgary is a decent place to be. Capital region has decent lakes etc., but whatever. Give him top minutes and he might really like the team and the outlook. At least we can afford him. Both him and Hubie are a little older, so it's not the same as what Tkachuk wanted in a city. Not exactly the South Beach lifestyle, but give Hubie the big raise and he can afford to summer whereever he wants. Skiing at Banff or Whistler. Boating and fishing in BC interior.

travel_dude Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 Looking back at the trade, I am still a bit shocked that we get a top 4, possibly top 2 D in the deal. It seemed like more of an add in at the time, but when you think about it, FLA got robbed just due to Tkachuk's age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thebrewcrew Posted August 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 After the trade happened I felt like Weegar was the more likely of the two to sign. Huberdeau signing will really help that I think. Feels like they’ll get it done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what would you pay a UFA like him to play here? More than Hanifin? Less than Pietrangelo? Two ends of the spectrum, neither is a number 1.

cross16 Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 I don’t see the hesitation around 7. Here are some signings the last couple off-seasons: Hampus Lindholm 6.5mil Morgan Reilly. 7.5 Mattias Ekholm 6.25 Parayko. 6.5 I’d take Weegar above all of those players. Would take him over Nurse and Jones who both make 9 plus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd gladly take him at LWer Reilly's contract. 2013 7th rder. 6th last player taken. lol I think he can tell our prospects a thing or 2 about hard work. Excited to get this done and move on to what else BT has up his sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does create some Brodie like blopeer reels yes.. but the good stuff will endear him to fans very quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cross16 Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 That account has 12 followers and also claimed that Kadri had signed with the flames in July. Probably need to take it with a big grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to say he doesn't have some inside info, but he hasn't exactly been accuate so far. I believe he had Kadri signing $9M x 7 years to the Flames.

7wit Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 $5.5M-6M x 6 years is good value if BT can do it. I know he’s good and several of you would pay more. He’s a late round late bloomer. From a business standpoint though I hope the numbers come in around there otherwise we may have to move out someone else who is much younger like Hanifin sooner or later. Of course if Hanifin is moved anyway for another forward piece sooner I could see the flames offer $750k-1M more per season. I still would hope he comes in at $5.5M-$6M per year because I would hate cap jail down the road... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
