<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>necas2svechnikov</b></div><div>I’m not saying the Sharks shouldn’t try to re-sign Timo, but they quite literally haven’t made him an offer and don’t plan to. They’re letting OTHER teams discuss with him so they can get more in a trade. Don’t ask me why the FO is doing this, as he is by far the best player they’ve had yet the only one they’re letting walk, but this is how it’s playing out.</div></div>

I wouldn't say they don't plan too, both parties just agreed that they shouldn't do it during the season back in October, but there is still contact, I think MG said last week they are having very positive talks like biweekly or something like that. But certainly he knows the position the sharks are in, and teams only get to talk to meier about extending if the sharks get an offer they like first, so its a little bit of a weird situation. Also this week it was reported timo wants an 8x9whcih should be very very doable for the sharks

Thread: SHARKS WIN TIMO MEIER TRADE
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mondo</b></div><div>sharks lost to the kings two years in a row in the playoffs

regardless this doesn't change the fact that san jose needs to get younger, and re-signing guys like meier and hertl doesn't accomplish that.</div></div>

resigning meier isnt an issue I dont think, hertl shouldn't have gotten 8 years, but either way with knyzhov, eklund, bords, guschin, robins, and tuna all having a realistic chance of being in the NHL/ playing NHL games over the next two seasons. You could even through bystedt havelid and laroque in the mix. buy out vlassic in two years + solidifying goal tending and its not a bad option. Karlsson I dont think will move because the man loves San Jose but depending on the offer and retention I wouldn't be as opposed as I would be trading meier

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tbrew</b></div><div>That doesn’t change the fact that he doesn’t cite any of it, or justify any of it. It’s just purely speculation with little/no basis in actual trade market values. And he wasn’t much of an insider with NJ or anything. He just reported and speculated like he’s doing with SJ.</div></div>

Yes, I dont disagree or deny that but he will always be closer to both orgs than we will be. I will disagree with the claim there is no/little basis in actual trade market values, all the assets also come with justifications, whether or not you agree with them is a different case. These trades are all significantly less than the tkachuk trade, and around the debrincat trade considering he got the 7th overall pick, and meier is looking like the better player right now. As a side you don't get the reputation Corey has by making stuff up/ missing the mark. As a minimum athletic articles are held to pretty high standards.

Thread: Corey Masiak Article
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tintin</b></div><div>I quite like Masisak and really miss him as the Devils beat writer at the Athletic, but 4 out of the 5 packages he suggested in his article today is completely out of touch with reality and the last one (package 5) being a almost unprecedented overpayment, though not as completely bonkers as the first 4.

Masisak (and many fans of any given team looking to sell star wingers) seem to think that deals are created in a vacuum, but they aren't.
Therein lies the single biggest issue with the article, the complete omittance of comparables.
If Masisak thinks these packages are realistic, then why didn't DeBrincat get Batherson + a 1st rd pick + Ridley Greig for example?
Then there is zero discussion on how Meier's ability to pick his next destination (as they'd have to negotiate extension with Meier) limits the number of buyers and thus diminishes the trade value.
Zero discussion on how his QO being higher than his market value gives Meier an egregious amount of leverage against the team he will negotiate against, be it the Sharks or some other.

Masisak seem to think that teams are trading for Matthew Tkachuk in Timo Meier, but they really aren't.
Tkachuk is a top 10 player in the league, Meier might be top 50.
Tkachuk was 24 at the time he was traded, Meier will be 26 if he is traded.
Tkachuk's QO at 9m was way below his market value, Meier's 10m QO is above his market value.</div></div>

Chicago isnt/ wasn't interested in NHL ready players or near NHL ready players as they were going hard for Bedard + they got the 7th overall pick. None of these returns are close to what Calgary got for Tkachuk which was a 100pt player and an excellent defenseman. Meiers QO is above is market value but not by much which was mentioned in the article. Also mentions the number of teams interested would drive up the price a little bit. All that being said I think the deal is closer to 2 or 3 other wise I see the sharks just signing meier long term, being bad for one more year and then our cap situation opens up
