Mackenzie Weegar lets the Flames know if he's willing to re-sign with them

When the Flames acquired Jonathan Huberdeau and Mackenzie Weegar, the real question surrounding the trade was, "could the Flames get the players extended?" Well after signing Jonathan Huberdeau to an 8-year deal it now appears the Flames received even more great news.

The 206th pick in 2013 has emerged into a top pairing defender during his six seasons in Florida. He scored 8 goals and 44 points during the 2021-2022 season. He was a very impressive plus 40 for the President Trophy winning Panthers.

If he does sign, Weegar would be following in the footsteps of fellow trade piece Jonathan Huberdeau, who inked an eight-year, $84 million deal on Thursday. The two were acquired as part of a package for Matthew Tkachuk in a blockbuster deal earlier this summer.

"You want to play for a team that wants you," Huberdeau told reporters via Zoom on Friday, "Talking to all the management, they seem really excited and I made up my mind I want to play there. I want to play in Calgary. And we got it done. I'm really excited.

Hopefully he signs too.»
