Weegar will make $2 million next season, $3 million in 2021-22 and $4.75 million in the final year of the contract, which takes him to unrestricted free agency.
The 26-year-old has grown into a top-four defensive role with the Panthers since making his debut in 2016 after being selected in seventh round (206th overall) of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.
