Value of: Mackenzie Weegar

[Desmit]

I understand he’s probably “not available” or too valuable. If he were to be moved, what would Florida expect as a return? Obviously, would love him in Vancouver but I don’t think the canucks could come up with a package

I can't see any reason Florida would move him midseason

 

[LordZapp]

I'd imagine he's probably too important to Florida and they wouldn't consider unless there's a gross overpayment.

 

[Desmit]

Yeah I mean I figured he would only move In the off-season but even then would be very unlikely

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

RHD that is great in his own end, and has more even strength points than any defender not named John Carlson since the beginning of last season. If he got powerplay time he would be a Norris candidate. I doubt Florida would trade him, but he should get the minimum of the Jones return if he comes with an extension if he is traded this offseason or next season.

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

He was really impressive against the Isles two years ago and he's light years better now.

Gonna take more than Halak, Ryder and a 2nd I imagine.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Vancouver honestly would have nothing Florida would want IMO.


I mean what hole on the Panthers roster would warrant moving Weegar? They don't need a 1C or 2C, or any Goaltending help. Panthers only weakish area is Defense and moving Weegar just makes it a glaring weakness instead of a minor one.

The result would just be opening up a significant hole for the Panthers they didn't have before the trade.

1 for 1 for Hughes? Vancouver takes Hornqvist to make the cap work though

No. Hughes will not be traded. Period

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

No. Hughes will not be traded. Period

Neither will Weegar

 

[BonMorrison]

Top pairing RHD (that plays LD) in their prime?

Oof gonna be high. No reason for Florida to do this.

 

[VijayPatel11]

If we have any cap problems, Weegar will definitely not be the one to go

this. I was a fan of his early and he’s just continued to grow. He loves being here and is able to play alongside his best friend (their words) on the top pair.

There’s zero reason to move him, I’m not sure why the thread was made. It would cost a lot, but as said here, the Panthers can use a physical guy on the backend if anything. Problem is, there’s several guys awaiting their turn.

all that said, it’s nice to him recognized for his play. Very proud of him.

The return would require a time machine for when Weegar was available 2 offseasons ago.

he wasn’t.

he wasn’t.

Except he was. He wasn't being actively shopped, but his name was involved in trade discussions.

except he wasn’t. Local guy George Richards said he was never actually available, it was baseless rumors based on them going to arbitration.

This is after a quick search, he says more in another article. It’s behind a paywall :

“Florida will pay Weegar $2 million this coming season, $3 million in 2021-22 and $4.75 million in the final year of the contract. With the signing of Weegar, who had been the subject of unfounded trade rumors the past few months, Florida sits about $6.5 million under the NHL’s flat salary cap of $81.5 million.“

Canucks have nothing to offer.

How about BBQ Bruce?

Apparently the Panthers offered Weegar for Dermott and Johnsson a few years ago, which Dubas turned down for some reason. Would’ve been nice to have him the last couple seasons. One of the most underrated players in the league.

they didn’t. It was all baseless speculation stemming from arbitration.
