The Calgary Flames had higher expectations going into this season, but another lacklustre start May force them to make a trade sooner rather than later. Especially when it comes to one of their under performing stars.

According to David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period, Flames defender Mackenzie Weegar could be on his way out the door fairly soon; take a look.

Weegar, 29, is in the first year of an 8-year contract extension that sees him getting paid 6.25 million per season. For someone who was supposed to come in and be an impact player on the back end, that's just not how things have played out.


Weegar has played in 37 games for the Flames this season scoring 8 goals and adding 14 assists for 22 points. Not a bad start to the year by any means, but mundane enough to have his name brought up in trade talks
