Elliotte Friedman expects Mackenzie Weegar to get a lucrative extension
In recent days, it has been apparent that the Calgary Flames and MacKenzie Weegar are working towards a contract extension, and according to one highly credible insider, that extension could be a very pricey one.
Speaking on this 32 Thoughts podcast, Elliotte Friedman spoke on what he is hearing in regards to the extension talks between the two parties. From the sounds of things, it could be a deal very similar to what Hampus Lindholm signed for last season with the Boston Bruins.
Over the past two seasons, Weegar's stock has increased dramatically. Playing on what was a loaded Florida Panthers lineup, he has been able to record 80 points over his past 134 games. That said, his defensive play at times can be questioned, and it remains to be seen how he will produce on a team more defensively styled with Darryl Sutter behind the bench. $6.5 million per year seems like quite a bit of money, but it's tough to question general manager Brad Treliving after what he was able to accomplish this summer.
