Utah Mammoth Acquire MacKenzie Weegar From Flames in Multi-Pick Trade

Utah adds a top‑four right shot on a contract through 2030–31 after he waived his no‑trade clause.

Overview

  • Calgary receives Olli Maatta, prospect Jonathan Castagna, and three 2026 second‑round picks originating from Utah, the Rangers and the Senators.
  • Weegar, 32, carries a $6.25 million cap hit, and Maatta’s $3.5 million deal helps balance the salaries under the cap.
  • Mammoth GM Bill Armstrong said the move “solidifies our back end” as Utah pushes for a playoff berth.
  • Utah finalizes the deal after Weegar approved the move, adding experience to a defense already reinforced in recent windows.
  • Calgary continues a retool by adding futures and a rising NCAA scorer in Castagna, who has 32 points in 29 games for Cornell.
