Mammoth trade: Calgary Flames sending defenceman MacKenzie Weegar to Utah

It looks like defenceman MacKenzie Weegar is heading to the Utah Mammoth.

Rumours were out there that the Calgary Flames and Utah could be making a deal, with several reports saying the Flames were trading one of their top defencemen.

Weegar has been a solid player for the Flames since arriving a few years back.

Elliotte Friedman was the first to report that the Flames had a deal in place to send Weegar to the Mammoth, but it had to be approved by the veteran defenceman, who had a full no-trade clause, and Weegar approved it late Wednesday afternoon.

In return, the Flames are getting veteran defenceman in Olli Maatta, three 2026 second-round draft picks and prospect Jonathan Castagna.

The NHL trade deadline is on Friday.
