In reality I don't think he would, I get this is all hypothetical but he probably signs somewhere in California or Florida maybe, Idk but doubt he signs in western NY.

Just bizarre statements.

Care to explain how they are bizarre?

You showed how we get a 1st round pick for just a waiver claim.

Then you want to get a 1st round pick <> 3 1sts.

It's just really bad asset mgmt. How am I the bizarre one?

Just bizarre statements.

Just because someone was drafted in the first round doesn't mean they are worth a first rounder. Full stop.

LOL. Smart to trade 1sts <> 2nds. Right?

And I have no idea what players you are referring to.

You are referring to players based on their original draft slot, which is ridiculous.

I'm done. We disagree on the trade. Oh well

dont have to worry about that extention since the sharks never accept that deal

Detroit says yes.
San Jose might bite. I think they will get a better offer though. Maybe swap mitts for j.j. or Quinn or add a 2nd.

I'm sorry what? You think meier gets a 1st, a 2nd and 2 top prospects? That is insane

What Lysowski tweeted this week makes sense and puts context to the hype people are making out of LeBrun's prior report that the Sabres "talked to the Sharks about Meier":
Sabres GM Kevyn Adams' contact with the Sharks regarding Timo Meier was simply due diligence, according to a source. A check-in to see what it would cost. Nothing serious at this point.Adams has said that he will always explore every avenue to improve the club.

As sexy and flashy a headliner trade for Meier might be to fans salivating for "win now" mode, it just doesn't make sense with everything that Adams has said in the past. Sure, Meier fits the age group criteria and definitely offers an injection of talent but the cap issues are a legitimate concern - until Adams has secured long-term extensions (which will each be pricey ones that eat up a lot of their current cap space) for Cozens, Dahlin and Power and knows what he has left to work with, why would he trade high picks and coveted prospects for a player that reportedly wants a $9M/yr long term deal with any new team? Maybe if Meier is still available after July 1st, when Adams will most likely have already extended Cozens and can begin discussions with Dahlin and Power, things might change but I think a deadline move of this magnitude is unrealistic.

Maatta would help stabilize the 3rd pairing and is a definite improvement over Bryson but, as a pending 28-year old UFA, he's a rental, plain and simple........and Adams said he's not interested in rentals nor giving up assets for one. If he adds anyone, it would be someone younger with more term that fits their M.O.

DeBrincat got 1st + 2nd + 3rd and was 24yo at the time of the trade. Why should Meier get more?

D-cat was coming off a 41 goal season and look at him now. 15 goals.

Buyers remorse for something more than DeBrincat.

Really hope Buffalo doesn't do something like this, just keep the picks/prospects and continue to build from within.

I wouldn't risk those assets on Meier, if he doesn't want to extend in Buffalo you've just thrown away good assets, yes you'd get something in trading his RFA rights but it won't be as good as your 1st and Savoie.
