I actually like him a lot. He’s steady back there. He’ll never be mistaken as a top guy imo, but he’s responsible and smart.

Was a 7th rounder.

Whats his ceiling as far as comparisons go

Top 4 guy. He's got a sturdy build, has decent speed and can be a puck moving defenseman but Boughner has him focusing on defensive side of things which he is average at with ability to get better. Very patient with the puck as well. Doesnt get scared and make a silly play. Will take hits to make the play

Will get physical and has some untapped offense. His junior and AHL numbers back that up.

Think he battles Pysyk all year long for top 4 minutes or he will get more PK/PP time, he needs an expanded role to secure that top 4 ceiling. Otherwise, hes an ideal 3rd pairing guy going forward. I like his upside.

He'll be a fixture in their top-4 in short order.

Pysyk/Petrovic/McCoshen/Kesilevich will fight for bottom pairing time

Tallon used to pimp him a lot years before he made his debut.
Didn't think much of it till he just kept on rising up the ranks.
Impressed we got a 7th rounder that actually looks like he belongs in the NHL as a full time player.

looked like a very solid 5/6 last year when I watched florida, smart signing. in the next couple years we could see some more improvement from him. definitely a 7th round steal.

Nice smart ass comment. Where's Jesse "the stud" Blacker?

Weegar will be a #4/5 for us. He was fantastic last year.
Lol jesse blacker? A guy who never played an NHL game for us. Who cares where he is. I don't even understand why you're referencing him. But you're stretching if you think he's a good 4/5 6/7 sure. He's serviceable but easily replaceable
