I feel thats a decent return for Meier.
I like both Players and get the 1st we need.

Panthers decline. Thats
Bad for them

That's a fantastic return for Meier. Sharks take it and run.

Two more thoughts:

1. I have to think Bjugstad and can be straight up for Stanley. I have always like his game, and find him quite underrated. I know what others think, but he is a legit bottom pairing D with some ups8de yet.

2. The Florida deal is interesting, but the whole Poink- Montour swap is so lateral, that is seems unnecessary outside the cap savings. It's for that reason I don't think the Cats do it. They don't look to be in bad shape rolling into 23-24, and adding more money to a blueline that clearly needs.roundong out is counterproductive imo.

Do you really think he is underrated? What pick would you actually give up for him? Most Jets fans including me would just give him away for nothing.

Has size, skates well enough and plays an economic game. Last year was playing 16 minutes a game and wasn't looking out of place per say. Worth asking if he still has that bottom pairing role this year has it not been for the injury making way for Samberg.

He was never a long term solution given the depth Chevy has created in Winnipeg (Morresey, Poink, Schmidt, Dillon, De Melo, Heinola, Samberg), but I don't think that detracts from what he can do.

Realistically, a team looking for an inexpensive bottom pairing option would certainly use him. Considering he still has contract control, I might argue a mid to late 3rd.

As a Leafs fan I would certainly kick that around the can. Stanley-Timmins bottom.pairing duo next year - frees up Timmins to be offensively creative will Stanley does his thing. Price Tag would be what? $2.5 million for the pair? That could be smart cap management long term..... and why I think Stanley has value to some organizations.

Love the positivity save for one post here.

I disagree.

(couldn't resist)

Separately, the speculation/reporting from insiders and beat reporters should be entertaining.

Jerk, have to ruin my good vibes lol
yea its crazy some are giving the sharks insane returns and some are being ultra conservative, will be really interesting to see the actual outcome.
