MacKenzie Weegar: our analysis
2025-26 season: 19 GP, 1 G, 6 A, 7 PTS, +2 +/-, 20:25 TOI. WAR -0.1 (254th of 325) · PAL 38, below average.
In 2025-26, MacKenzie Weegar, 32, posts a PAL Rating of 38 out of 100 (below average), and his WAR of -0.1 ranks 254th among 325 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
His strengths: penalty kill (88, among the best in the league) and creation (68, above average). On the other hand, power play (3, among the weakest in the league) and discipline (4, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: penalty kill (+1.0); his biggest cost: penalties (-3.4).
A marked decline: his PAL was 89 in 2024-25, against 38 now; his WAR went from 1.3 to -0.1.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 19 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
MacKenzie Weegar's story
Chosen late in the 2013 draft after standout seasons with the Halifax Mooseheads, MacKenzie Weegar rose through the junior ranks on the back of team success and individual recognition. In 2012–13 he was part of Halifax squads that captured both the President's Cup and the Memorial Cup, and he earned a spot among the LHJMQ's rookie all-stars; the following year he was named to the league's second all-star team. Those years established him as a polished junior defender ready for pro assignments.
