Description

This team is already an offensive juggernaut and adding Timo Meier to the mix would be huge. That being said, Meier has a $10M QO and that contract would cause unnecessary big problems for this team, especially when you have players like Mercer, Luke Hughes, etc. who will down the road need contracts. Would you rather sacrifice key pieces of the future for an expensive player, or take a shot on someone like Boeser and have more cap control down the line?

I might be biased, but Boeser is worth the flier imo. Ever since he's been put back with Petey and given more PP opportunities he's looked much better

I'd rather keep Sharangovich and just give up some B level prospects.

Meier isn't going to make 10 m tho. He'll probably end up at like 8.5; Devils will be fine financially. By the time Luke and Nemec need BIG contracts, guys like Marino, Hamilton, and Graves if we resign him will be on their way out. We have an abundance of prospects and we need to deal some of them for Meier. Boeser is not the move and definitely not at his full cap hit

Boeser. 100%.

I don’t even think Meier is an option any more.

The latest on what it will take for Meier ….

Trade - three of the following five pieces: Holtz, Nemec, Hughes, Mercer, 2023 1st.

Contract - 8 years around $9.5 million (and note, Bratt will likely be looking to that as his benchmark).

Until the prices comes waaaaay down on Meier, it’s really not even worth talking about anymore. For a guy that torched a few bad teams in the Pacific but has been 0.70 ppg vs everyone else…we should stay far away.
