Weegar's Flames extension brings Treliving's stroke-of-genius trade full circle

MacKenzie Weegar signed a contract extension with the Calgary Flames. The contract is worth $50 million. Weigar was traded to Calgary as a package deal for Matthew Tkachuk. He is the third player to sign a long-term contract in the last seven weeks. The deal is slightly lower than expected. It was negotiated by Brad Treliving. Trediving also signed Jonathan Huberdeau. They are a team with a winning culture. There are many players who have won in Calgary. This is why Wegar wants to stay. His contract will be worth less than the expected cap hit.
