Quoting: KingofRnR
No I think that's a decent offer, like I said, we (or more likely I) would want Holl back for our 3rd Pairing and I'd also want to bring in RD Prospect William Villeneuve if possible, since he's already familiar with 2 of our LD Prospects, them being former QMJHL Teammates
We could then use TOR's 2024 1st in a Package to acquire Jakob Chychrun and then would move Kylinton and/or Hanifin (or Tanev) out in the off-season to acquire a Top-6 Forward, Colton Parayko or Anthony DeAngelo
I'd do the same deal for Tanev, but without the 1st, since he's older and only has 1 year left on his term, but when healthy, he's an amazing defender and performs way above his cap hit. Most Flames Fans would say its sacrilegious to move Tanev, since he's a Big Part & Leader for our Team, but I think we move him if we get decent value in return and Sandin is still very young and would be a low cost Kylington or Hanifin replacement
You'll get way more years and offense out of Weegar though and $6.25mil won't seem like that much in a year or two from now when the Cap goes up. I think Weegar does better on a high flying offence first team like FLA or TOR, as opposed to Sutter's Defense first dump & chase style
Personally, my pitch perfect plan for TO would be:
Trade Marner and acquire Chychrun + 1 more defensemen (like a Hanifin) and could still have some leftover assets. this solves the defence issue that I have. Then, I would address the RW issue by picking up Kapenen at half retained and Barbashev.
My Lines would end up being:
Bunting - Matthews - Nylander
Jarnkrok - Tavares - Barbashev
Kapenen - O'Rielly - Acciari
Holmberg - Kampf - Engvall
Rielly - Hanifin
Chychrun - Brodie
Gio - Lilly
Sammy - Murray
Sorry for going off-topic but back to the trade, if Weager's contract was 2 years shorter, I would be all over this deal. But the back half of his extension is pretty rough
