Flames agree to trade MacKenzie Weegar to Utah, pending player approval
- Yesterday, Sportsnet's Eric Francis reported the Flames are closing in on a deal to send MacKenzie Weegar to Utah, pending his approval after a proposal was presented to him.
- With the March 6 trade deadline approaching, Calgary is pushing to get younger as they aim to trade Weegar to Utah Mammoth, pending his approval.
- Weegar carries a long-term contract with a $6.25-million cap hit and averages 23:07 ice time with three goals and 21 points in 60 games; 31-year-old defenceman Olli Maatta would return to Calgary if traded.
- Weegar would give the Mammoth an immediate top-four defensive boost, assuming veterans like John Marino and Sean Durzi stay out of the return, leaving three dependable veterans for their playoff run.
- The Mammoth can offer multiple high draft picks and prospects, including Tij Iginla and Caled Desnoyers, while reports say Weegar would not waive for Ottawa, and Utah has shown interest.
