Description

Timo Meier is the top trade target this season, and he's been getting a lot of attention.

Graviteh on Sportsnet's YT channel shared three packages. The Sharks are looking for quality over quantity, and of the three, I think Buffalo is the most realistic (though I do think they'd rather have Levi as their choice of top prospect). I do think there are better packages out there for both sides, thoughts?

That is too rich for me as a sabres fan. It is also far far more than you are asking from the leafs

Sneaky with Neuchev.

My first thought is that Grav is absolutely insufferable to listen to, so good on you for making it through one of his videos long enough to find out what he's talking about

Why does the NJD package return so much more than the others?

I know re: the Leafs. I don't think it makes sense for Toronto given their cap issues, as it would effectively make Timo a rental. Getting Knies would be good but I don't think Dubas will want to part with hiim just yet.

As great as it would be get the haul proposed, the Devils would probably be giving up too much for this trade to work. I'm also not sure how willing they'd be to pay for Timo's extension given Bratt will also be out of contract as a RFA, but there's probably an adjusted package to make this work. Perhaps...
- NJ gets: Timo
- SJ gets: Holtz, Sharangovich, Blackwood, lottery-protected 1st, 2024 3rd (for Blackwood cap dump)

For the Sabres, I think they're the best fit for Timo but I could work with a different package. Was thinking of:
- Buffalo gets: Timo, Megna
- SJ gets: Neuchev, Levi, lottery protected 1st, 5th (for Megna)
