Because Hart hasn’t been good this year either and Philly would say no.

San Jose wouldn’t touch that with a 10 foot pole.

That’s why not.

Because Flyers and Sharks need Hart and Meier respectively more than what they're offered here.

Don't get me wrong, Hart has been atrocious this year, but everyone knows his potential. He's only 22, and projected to become the next Carey Price of this league.

It's 10 because it was signed under the former CBA.

With the current one it would be 8.

The retention naturally wouldn't affect the QO. That contract where the retention is part of would already be expired by that point.

He makes 10 mill in his final season of this contract. Making his QO 10 million. He's a 60 point winger who will need 10 million to qualify. He's not worth it.

Hey look. Another doofus who doesn't understand how QO's and salaries work. Meier's deal is strictly structured to ensure a long-term deal or UFA at the expiry rather than being an RFA again. That is literally the extent of it. No one is paying him a $10 million QO. It is a non-factor. I don't get how people posting on a site that is literally all about contracts and the cap can be so stupid as it relates to the topic.

So what happens on his negotiation then smart guy? He just becomes UFA and walks somewhere else? Because why would he sign for anything less than his QO? Or at least close to it. On top of that, why are you insulting me for pointing out how stupid the contract is. A 50-60 point winger making 10 million is ridiculous, sure you can try to sign him for less on a long term deal but where is the incentive for him to do so? If San Jose sucks, which they do, his stats will be garbage, which they are. So when his deal is up, why wouldn't he just say, give me huge money or my QO, San Jose will then have to trade him for a diminished return or just not sign him and he becomes FA and walks. I absolutely understand this contract. It's absolutely crap for the team but insane for Meier. He holds all the cards and can do whatever he wants. Either way, he either goes somewhere he wants to be, or he is going to get paid.

Sounds like a lousy negotiation tactic on the Sharks end.

He doesn't hold all the cards though, that is literally the point. The $10 million tag is just a way to ensure he does not play his last year under an arbitration deal. He can sit and demand $10 million, but no one is going to give it to him with a current team or anywhere else in the league. It would be like me telling my employer that I demand a raise of $1 million over my current amount or I am leaving. I can demand it, but no one else is going to give me that so a self aware person/agent will negotiate a deal for me at market value.

People are way too hung up on this QO nonsense when it is legitimately the first point made in every deal trying to negate his value. You would not make the same point or decrease a player's value if they only had 2 years on their current deal until they were a UFA. If anything, it would be seen as a positive in the player's value in that they are not merely a rental and you're not locked in super long-term. Meier should be viewed in the exact same lens given that is all that the QO does in this case. You have the ability to lock him in at market value or let him go to UFA. The "We're going to have to pay him $10 million" dummies that flock to every Meier deal are annoying and ignorant because they think they have this HUGE value depressor when in reality they have nothing.

That's not how it works. If he isn't qualified he becomes a UFA. He doesn't need arbitration, his Qualifying offer is 10 million. If he holds out, they have to qualify him or lose him. So for his side they say, "give me a huge contract, no? Okay then I'll test the market." What can the team say to that? The options you have are to A) trade a guy who needs to be qualified to retain B) setup a sign and trade scenario.

Either way the team is in a rough spot. Trading a guy who needs 10 mill to qualify is not at all appealing. So now the teams who want him contact to see what kind of contract he wants. The agent would likely get involved in that and once he picks a team, they really have limited the field of offers so the return won't be huge. If no one wants to pay what his contract demands will be, you are now dealing with a player who still says I want 10 million or I'm walking to UFA, now the team has to qualify him.

There is no way to spin this as smart. San Jose handed him the keys hoping he was going to he elite. He's not.

I LITERALLY SAID HE BECOMES A UFA... goodness gracious you're dense. I only brought up arbitration because the goal of Meier when structuring the deal was to ensure that he did not play the final year of team control on a short-term arbitration dictated contract. He essentially cut his last year of team control out of the situation in exchange for a slightly lower AAV number in the near term.

He should be viewed as someone who is a UFA at the expiry of his deal (like say a Tomas Hertl but in 2 years vs 1 year) that can still be re-signed long-term on a normal fair market deal by the Sharks or any acquiring team or be allowed to go into the open market. There is literally no scenario in which any team is qualifying him and on the hook for $10 million. If he doesn't like the deal presented by SJ or an acquiring team and says "I want $10 million or I am walking", then he is walking as a UFA free to sign anywhere (like hundreds of players do every year). Teams non-QO players all the time and Meier would be no different if he doesn't like the offer presented to him when that time comes and wants to play hard ball.
