Timo Meier is a very good player.

Is he worth a middle six forward, B prospect, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd? Not by a long shot even with retention. Or at least not from the Flames as they won't be able to re-sign him.

Good luck resigning Timo Meier.


A bona fide top line winger who is a perfect fit on this team. Why wouldn't they do everything they could to re-sign Meier?

Because they'd rather be paying $3.75M to Nikita Zadorov who is probably their 5th or 6th best D when Kylington is back and healthy? Would you rather have a 27 year old Timo Meier at $9M+, or a 34 year Mikael Backlund at $5.35M? Or a $32 year old Blake Coleman at $4.9M? Or a 31 year old Toffoli at $4.25M?

If you have a chance to add Timo Meier, who immediately becomes one of your best players---if not THE best player---, and also brings down the average age of your core and potentially extends your competitive window a little bit, next year's cap isn't a good enough reason not to do it. You make room.

If the cap ends up going up $3M-$4M as was initially reported (although seems less likely now), it becomes a lot easier to clear that room.
