Would The Calgary Flames EVER Trade MacKenzie Weegar?? | FN Barn Burner
Apparent top Dman Weaguer is now minus 17 through 18 games. He is the league worst by far. At this rate, Weaguer will be min if it’s not Weaguer. It’s a problem. He should be kind of This is We’re going to do this as long as R&B has got money. Yep. He’s just going to RB is He did it last night, too. He’s He’s committed. I’m okay with R&B. This is an actual thing and I got in for it last year. We can’t trade Weaguer. Trade Weaguer. I I guarantee you could everything has to be on the table for Craig Conroy and management and ownership. Yeah, he might have enough trade for Alino, but I’m just saying in general any anything that’s Well, we can’t Well, I don’t think we can trade. Yeah, keep wolf. Wolf probably above all things. And even then it’s like well but I keep wolf end of list almost. I I don’t know who else you would have a yeah there would be various levels of but if you call on anyone and offer me celibbrraini the offer in return is the only limiting factor in my ability to trade you anyone. Yeah. I look and RB keeps coming in. I just it’s been a it’s been a bad year for Wigs. There’s no doubt about it. And I was bitching about Backlin and Coleman. They’re supposed to make players better. So Waguer can do that with the guys he’s playing. He has had a hand grenade for most of the season. Yeah. I again it’s the wrong reason and there’s a lot of other things, but I do I think this Olympic thing has been in his freaking Well, maybe it’s gotten to his head. He thinks he’s better than he is. Stick to the basics. Maybe. or just don’t read the headlines. Every time that there’s a a muffed pass or a giveaway or something that goes wrong, it’s like, well, Jesus Christ. So, yeah, it’s not been it has not something else that helps is when we rip on you, typically things can turn around. That can be a nice But to the original point, I’m on team wigs. We’re Wager guys. He’s he’s not the way his level of play is not who he is. It’s No, he’s better than what he’s doing. But but it’s not all him either. No, I don’t know if he was on the ice when Wolf cived out last night. That’s a minus. We talked here now. He’s spread around. I mean, Kevin Ball has not looked good. Kevin Ball’s looked terrible. He and then cuz honestly I thought Braden Bahal like this guy wasn’t playing for the first half of the game and he looks as steady. He made the play on he makes the pass on the Coronado goal. That was not a very nice goal as we’ve established. But either way, regardless of what you think about it, Brain Pal’s looked fine. I like Paul. I never understood why he wasn’t. Yeah. And Ketaf has come in and been okay. That’s where things are at right now, which is why I just I don’t I don’t know how much better they are than what they’re showing right now, but they’re better than historically worst of all worst Flames team ever levels. Are they? I think so. Yeah, I sort of don’t. There’s some dark there was some dark like there was some ugly Yeah, there was some no hope season. Now, if you trade Weaguer and Anderson and Cadrey and Coleman and get prospects like nothing back aside from picks, we’ll talk. But I don’t know how the best thing you could do. And the be stack it up so that your kids are coming in together at the same time and growing together. You w you watch those highlights of San Jose and that was just one there. But these guys, they are scoring. They’re all in the same age group. They’re having fun together because you can trade Weaguer whenever. We’re only beating up on Weaguer because R&B said he wanted to. But Weaguer as an example, you can trade him I don’t know how many years left three years from now you can trade them. But you don’t time it. I want to time it out so that all the kids Yeah. were strong together as best you can. I don’t think you can ever because you’ve still got a tofully or whatever mixed in. But that’s fine. the the guys that are difference makers for you. If you can have them in more or less the same pocket, then that’s Yeah. So, moving weaguer and getting a first overall pick in that season means Oh, we’re a couple years away from that this guy being good. Yeah. Trade him. It’s easy for Oh, I it it I I would love some behind closed doors with ownership Murray and just because it’s and it’s what fans have been hoping for which is I think why they all flipped out last week is that it’s now undeniable. It seems very clear what you would have to be one hell of a debater and philosopher to sit down at a table with the management and go no no no no no no we’re because in the past in the past few years last year included and we talked about you could build a compelling case you may not agree with it but you to a certain extent you could say well if they had another score then yeah I did it in September one day I ripped on them and the next day I was like, “Wait a minute, they’re not that far off, right? It they’re not a 20 goal scorer, but you’re now 20 games in or damn near and you But you’re also not starting at Scorched Earth. You have some younger players. Yes, you have the goalender. You have the goalender. You think San Jose like I don’t know if this a Ascarov Yeah. I don’t know if he’s playing every game or if he’s heart trophy candidate, but if they don’t have a goalender, and I think he’s playing decent, they’re not where they are. You got to have a goalie. What’s happened to Chicago? Well, maybe they’ve got a goalie. Exactly. Knight came along. They were horshit last year. Yeah. And Knight’s there making the odd save, giving you a chance. The rest of the team’s going, “Hey, this is pretty good. I like this.” and you watch those plays and again I could with between an between Anaheim, San Jose, uh there were a number of games goals last night. It’s like these are high-end skill if you’re going to watch those types of skill plays and the team may lose that night. You’re still entertained, but I I can’t wait for the next game. Wol played a game I sat was at the game I was sitting in the Sweet. Well, it’s against Montreal and watching him perform against Montreal in the first period cuz I left after that. But he was active and busy and making save. That’s entertaining. You can be entertained and not win. Yeah. And I I don’t buy into the B. It’s 14 years of misery if you do it like Buffalo. That is that’s legendary stuff. The Sabres. Yeah. Hey buddies, thanks for watching. We appreciate it.

Boomer and Rhett react to a SuperChat suggestion about trading MacKenzie Weegar — while both guys are big fans of his game, they agree that if the Calgary Flames are serious about a rebuild, everything has to be on the table. Could a Weegar trade actually happen? The boys debate what it would take and whether it makes sense for Calgary long-term.

How many players are you guys going to run out of town? Geezus, you need some players to lead and be an example, even if they suck on the ice. Get Andersson and Kadri the hell off the team and eliminate that distraction, then suck the rest of the year and get that top pick. Hope McKenna falls in their lap and not do the most Flames thing in hockey history, and take another player, trying to be the smartest guys in the room.
Do NOT trade Weegar. I see him as the true leader and captain of the team
I think we should trade Backlund to a real contender so Backie can try and get a cup before he retires.
Trade his ass!
Best player on the team imo
It has to be an insanely good offer, a top 10 pick or a true top prospect. Plus extra assets.
ps. Oilers fan here, love the show even when u shit on us. There's like 4-5 good hockey podcasts, this is 1 of them.
That R&B guy is an idiot. Did he sleep with his wife or something?
The whole team is hot garbage, he was one of the best defensemen in the league last year. Incredibly implausible to think that in the span of two months he went from being considered for Team Canada to being the worst dman on the league.
Would rather watch Buffalo than the Flames. Buffalo is bad but they've never been this bad.
I mean… don’t GIVE the guy away but if someone gives you a good offer you take it. There’s no untouchables on this team, except Wolf
Blasphemers
When is Pospisil coming back? The difference in their record with him in the line up (74-52-18) vs. without (9-26-3) is huge. Not sure if he makes a difference, but he is a good player
Can we trade Pinder? I know we can't get anything of value in return, so maybe what we do is trade Pinder for nothing. That in itself would be a massive upgrade.
Everyone over 30 should be traded. Embrace the suck. San Jose, Chicago, and Montreal have all turned the corner. Calgary could get there in a few seasons too. Or they could miss the playoffs for a decade trying to compete.
He's been consistently one of the worst players this season, so why not..
Yes … trade him to the Jets !!!
I can confirm when Craig was in Ottawa when the Sens hosted the Flames the talks surrounded Weegar and not Andersson. Expect Weegar to accept a trade too Ottawa if they can satisfy a return Conroy accepts.
