Swap Holtz for a prospect like Foote or Casey and its probably close.

Feels a bit ambitious, Meier probably only gets one of those prospects + other stuff. Not sure if teams will pay a 3rd for Bonino. Picks seem a bit high on Reimer too. No idea how LaBanc is valued tbh

Sharks probably won't do a trade with NJD if it doesn't include Holtz

I wouldn't be so sure about this. Sharks definitely want Holtz but they may be able to get a nicer package without him. If you do get Holtz, I don't think you get much more than Holtz+1st.

Look at the Devils prospect pool....there are lots of items on the menu.

But without ability to negotiate an extension, Devils are probably out on Meier anyway.

Everything that can be said on this topic has been said.
There is no package that will satisfy SJS fans.
Even when Holtz + 1st is offered, they say "not close"

The Sharks are giving permission to negotiate with Meier when a trade is close, I don't know where you have been but that's what it has been for a while. Even Pierre LeBrun said today that its when a trade is close.

Lebrun said opposite. They so far they have declined everyone that has requested.

Sone teams have already dropped out on Meier. Sounds like NJD may be among them.

Who knows…maybe Sharks end up extending him themselves.
