Bratt

NJD can sign both Meier and Bratt at market value as many demonstrated earlier. And personally I would keep Bratt before Meier.

Yes, the Devils can afford Bratt and Meier. No, that is not too much. In fact, it isn't enough. Bratt starts with Caufield, and before you say that's a ridiculous thing to ask, remember that the Devils have no use for draft picks at this stage.

Thanks for the feedback! I should have added that even though they can sign both to market value, how does that affect the rest of the roster. They still have a few other guys to sign. You wouldn't want to regress too much as a team next year because you went heavy on two contracts.

And as a MTL fan, I take Meier any day if they didn't want to give up Bratt!

Yeah, I'm not NJD fan, but I would personally put Bratt and Ryan Graves before Meier personally.
But I've seen some examples of how that would look, and it is not like a team that lacks depth by any means.
and they have a lot of top notch talent coming up through their system, so either way they are fine I would say.

the trade for Bratt seems like a good price but I dont think theyll even pick up the phone, i expect the Devils to give him ~7 million
