They have Luke hughes and Simon Nemec coming who will take up 2 spots making hardly any money for 3 years. You trade a couple defenceman and free up cap room in the off-season.
Let's be honest, the Sharks got fleeced here. I don't know how you get that return for a 26 year old 40 goal guy who is still under team control as an RFA. Nashville got more for Tanner Jeannot for Christ sake.
Cleveland Crusaders? He ain't old enough to remember the Cleveland Crusaders, but maybe he's a Gerry Cheevers fan.
LGD!!!
So are you saying that he does not want to sign a long term deal with the devils because if that's true the devil's absolutely got fleeced
Shara is getting squeezed? Not wood? Severson? Blackwood? Ight
The morons talking about cap space lol
Great deal for the devils, they keep all their top prospects. And Meier will sign a contract for sure. He wants to win the Cup, ain't not better place than New Jersey in the next 5 years to do that. Also he's got all his swiss buddies there.
First round draft picks are soooo overrated!
NHL all star, elite power forward, 26 years old, former top 10 pick.
The Sharks got a couple bottom 6 guys and are gambling with the late first round picks. Not a great return if you’re measuring in quality. But if quantity is the most important thing for the Sharks, they definitely got quantity.
Devils absolutely fleeced my Sharks……if we don’t end up getting Bedard then Grier needs to be fired asap
Timo definitely being extended.
Timo Meier will be extended with The Devils 😈 Fitzy would of never done this deal without being assured that an extension can be working on etc! 🖤🔥🔥
Fitz sounded confident he is going to lock up Meir and Bratt in an interview shortly after the trade. No reason not to believe him, he has done a great job with the Devils.
People act like timo is a full unrestricted free agent. His options are limited. Someone comes to sign him well they have to give up a lot of compensation be my guest.
A MESSAGE TO SHARKS FANS FROM A DEVILS FAN https://youtu.be/uE9bJeeR8eY
The Devils have a young core that still doesn’t even have Nemec or Luke Hughes. Jack is still 21 along with Mercer, they are all young mostly besides Palat. Tatar and Haula will be gone after the season. There is also the Swiss connection with Nico, Seigs and Schmidd. This is the perfect fit for Timo, the devils are here to stay and compete moving forward they are only gonna get better as they enter their prime. Timo should take a slight pay cut and stay, perfect fit team!
👹 👹 👹
Wasn't a great trade for the Sharks, but also wasn't bad…Only time will tell. But yes I would be lying if I wasn't extremely disappointed that out of all the top prospect NJ carries we didn't get a single grade A Prospect…We'll see what Shakir Mukhamadullin turns into, but as of right now it's a bit underwhelming considering Timo Meier is a top talent, and one of the best players the Sharks have ever drafted. To New Jersey, I'm excited for you, and to follow Timo and his inevitable success with the Devils this playoff season. Meier is underrated, and an absolute monster of a player. Take good care of him </3
Now if the Devils can secure the All-Star MVP John Scott they’d for sure be lifting the cup every year for the next decade……. Let’s Go Devils!!!!
He'll resign with the Sharks in a few months.
