Definitely not keeping Bratt over Meier. We can easily keep both, it's a matter of how much.

It’s very possible to keep both guys and still make an addition up front. Preferably a righty shot tbh.

Talk about overpay.

Not going to give you more than you paid for Meier now that you can't sign him.

Oh no, I thought DeBrincat trades were to the Wings was bad, and now we have Meier.

i feel like its smarter for us to go for someone like Konecny thats a fair bit cheaper

i figured if you get the contract with the trade thats the value meier would have to sign though

Detroit passes, not offering that much for Timo Meier who's probably going to cost us 8 x $8,500,000 if not closer to 8 x $9,000,000. Pass big time.

We can sign him. Easily

Wings have the money for him that's what a scoring winger costs in the NHL and Detroit is nearing a position where they have to add scoring pieces and go for a playoff run.

I think so too but they didn't here

Especially with Bratt not playing as well in playoffs and later regular season as he did early, brings the price down. It really doesn't become an issue until they start getting above 18 mill combined, and even then it just means worse depth (such as not bringing back one of Haula/Tatar, or going cheaper on 3RD)
