MinMaxing on Meier

Team: 2022-23 New Jersey Devils

Initial Creation Date: Feb. 13, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

My values may be completely off seeing as I’m not too familiar with SJS’s prospects overall, but I like Cardwell’s game/compete level and SJ seems to have decent C depth with Bordeleau, Bystedt, and Lund all likely ahead of him.

-I think Holtz, Muk, and a 1st = 50% retention on Meier
-An unproven 20yo C prospect and a 4th = Sharangovich whose game has stagnated a bit if he isn’t playing with Hughes

Judging from the hits NJD has had in the mid to later rounds of the draft the last couple of years, I’d love to have their scouts get a second crack in the 4th round after missing a 1st and 3rd this year.

Also, no idea if a 31yo rental for a 23yo RFA is fair. Walsh might be able to get more as part of a package elsewhere, but who would have to add (and what would they have to add) for this trade in particular?
