Trades

DET

Meier, Timo [RFA Rights]

Additional Details:

SJS

Buchelnikov, Dmitri [Reserve List]
Vrána, Jakub
Zadina, Filip
2023 2nd round pick (STL)
2024 1st round pick (DET)

Additional Details:

Settle down, Sally. Vrana is a low risk/high reward piece for SJ that helps DET's cap situation for Meier. He isn't a value piece here. Zadina plays well with Vrana, and is on the edge of a breakout. Buch is a B+ prospect. The 1st is unprotected. The 2nd is likely in the late 30s.

We dont need the fat in our elite winger trade, no thanks.

Vrana is a massive cap dump, Zadina is not an NHLer, the prospect is nothing.

Kasper plus 2023 first is the ask

Bucheinikov won't even be over in North America until at least 2025, Both Vrana and Zadina hold zero value. 1st and 2nd are the only good pieces in the whole deal. Other teams will offer up far better than this for Timo Meier .

I would love to hear who you guys think will actually offer a better package. Nobody is offering a top-level prospect, and any other team that could actually fit Meier's cap hit (without risking losing Bedard over it) isn't giving a top 15 pick. Your options are limited to like 4 teams, realistically.

Also, Buchelnikov is a pretty damn good prospect. Not top tier, but just about top tier for what SJ will get here.
