The only part of this trade that wow’s me was the ‘wow there are a lot of players involved here’!!
We knew that Timo Meier would likely get traded to New Jersey in advance it was just a matter of when. As for the other moving pieces, I’m not moved by them in the slightest.
How in the hell did New Jersey not have to give up one of there top prospects in this trade?? Jersey is going to have one of the most ridiculous top 6’s I have ever seen in a couple years. Hughes, bratt, Meier, hichier, holtz, Mercer!
return is pretty garbage. San Jose got barely anything of value besides the 2 picks and even then, not even 2 guaranteed 1sts. no top prospects, just a bunch of nobodies… pretty upset Vegas didn't match
I’m a sharks fan, this is a total disaster. The period of darkness in San Jose continues, the trade is the absolute worst case scenario. This barely helps the rebuild and adds Grade B and Grade C prospects. Sharks already have plenty of those.
Can’t stress enough how bad this is, quality is so much better than quantity
😈 😈 😈 Got to meet Jack Hughes today at a signing, and this news came through while I was in line. WINNING!
I have a Scott Harrington signed stick in my room..Don’t ask me why
Looking at this trade as a sharks fan who loves Timo, this is an awful return. Zetterlund is an A+ pickup, picks are good enough, but come on… we couldn’t even get their 5th best prospect?
Future steve dangle trade tree
Fire kyle dubas
We could’ve done a lot better. Very whelming return
Wow the sharks got fleeced in this trade. I hope it doesn’t turn out to be as bad as it looks
I can't wait for the Rangers vs Devils in the second round, that's gonna be a hell of a series
We got a huge W here in NJ i’m soooo stoked to have Timo Meier here on The NJ Devils! 😈🖤🔥🔥🔥 I’ve been saying since Day 1 that we are gonna get him and he will be extended I 100% guarantee that so I’m stoked af! This is way too awesome! Fitzy should win GM of the year award! Didn’t have to give up Mercer or Holtz Or Nemec we didn’t have to give up anyone that’s really good didn’t have to tear down what we are building up here in NJ, instead we added to it with NHL All Star ⭐️ TIMO FUCKING MEIER FROM SHARK 🦈 TO A DEVIL 😈 TOTALLY WORTH IT! Hope The Devils and Sharks win a cup soon though, as a Devils fan always been rooting for SJ to win a cup honestly & also we will take care of Timo here in NJ we promiseeeee fellow Sharks fans! 🖤 Hischier and Siegenthaler fellow Swiss Devils are so happy Timo is here! Especially cause they are all friends in real life too! They were all in Mexico 🇲🇽 together during The All Star ⭐️ Break too!
LETS GO DEVILS! Devils fans I’m giving away Devils memorabilia and a Sharks jersey as well in my community tab in my channel check it out!,,
Devils cup in the next 3 years 👀
Not a fan of either team but this is a really good trade for New Jersey
Huge arms race taking place in the eastern conf!
One of the Rangers top prospects?? Mercer? As a rival to the rags that's a bit insulting
If you told me the devs could acquire Meier and not give up any of Nemec Holtz Casey sharangovich or Mercer I would’ve said you’re crazy.
I think it's a great trade for New Jersey, the only other thing worth noting here is that the Devils are basically betting on the additions of Luke Hughes and Simon Nemec being the last finishing touches on what they hope will be a good enough finished product. On paper, it seems like it should be, but we'll see if everybody on that roster is able to come together in future post-seasons
I feel the Sharks should have gotten a couple more complementary mid round picks with a package like this.
As a Swiss I really hoped for this trade and now I'm rooting even more for the Devs 🙃
And for the Swiss players it's great that the now completted their Jass-Quartett (traditional Swiss card game you need 4 players for), so they don't get bored on longer road trips 💪🏻🤪
i wanted san jose to get holtz so he could be reunited with eklund
Why? He is only under contract through this season. And NJ isn't going to make the east finals.
I completely agree the return is far from what it should've been. I mean if you took a look at EVERY proposed trade package, from fans, from analysts, Holtz was in on every one!
He might turn out to be good, but when the biggest piece of the return is Mukhamadullin…you messed up
I hate this trade New Jersey is a serious threat. Smart move
Someone in San Jose is gonna lose their job.
Trading Meier for a seriously sketchy 3rd or 4th liner, 2 prospects, a handful of magic beans in the form of draft picks AND 50% salary retention.
This is a fleecing and it's not even 24 hours old yet.
Consider that San Jose got NOTHING tangible in return to replace Meier immediately.
There is no damn way that there was NOT a better trade offer on the table. No way.
Sorry, Grier showed his rookie status here. Look at what Poile just did if you want to see how to twist a team's nipple.
This trade in My opinion confirms Devils Will Be powerhouse in The NHL next 10 years
Just a small correction – Nemec is pronounced 'Nemets'. I know the lady on the draft night pronounced it 'Nemetch' but that's not the correct pronunciation.
For some reason it feels Meier will be the bust of this year's trade deadline.
As a Devils fan- pretty happy with this trade
Even though the Devils have been linked to Timo Meier for seemingly forever, and they were considered favorites, I'm still stunned they were able to get him, especially for that trade return. Even more stunning is that they didn't have to give up Mercer, Nemec or even Holtz for that matter.
Now I hope they can get both him, and Jesper Bratt, under contract for the better part of the next decade. Very happy to be a Devils fan today.
Sharks gave him away
I dont think the return is bad by any means just lacks kinda of a big name prospect for the sharks
Highway robbery
Great trade for NJD – they did not give up one key player (esp Mercer), they let go ones that either were not fitting in or were in a position abundance situation, they dumped about $6-7 mil of salary which can be used to support Timo's contract, and the 1st round picks are conditional upon a deep playoff run. But on the talent side, NJ just got a lot more dangerous with 2 fully packed, extremely lethal scoring lines.
How smoothly he said Okhotiuk shook me
Why would you wait to see how the first pick turns out? It’s simply a probability of becoming an nhl player. We shouldn’t judge it after the fact based on them picking a diamond.
So far I haven’t seen any premier prospects going the other way in any of these big trades. O’Reilly deal, no Knies or Robertson, Rangers no Kakko or Lafreniere, and now this no holtz or Nemec.
Timo Meier. The Sharks best player. After years of not wanting to tank, and failing to pile up draft assets, its incredibly underwehelming to say the least. How come some teams (like the Sharks) ALWAYS get fleeced?? Crazy stuff…
no Holtz is such an L
New Jersey wouldn’t be where they are this season without zetterlund. He filled palat and bastions spot well
Sharks are horribly run
No Holtz? No Schmid? And why give up a good young prospect in Hatakka? As a Sharks fan I'm really disappointed. Grier has really been disappointing me since he's been hired. This was a as premium an asset as it gets
how tf were they supposed to get a rangers top prospect???
Gonna miss zetterlund, but timo is worth it imo.
