I’d see if we could get Duchene and Jeannot from Nashville. Duchene could slot in as the 2C and Jeannot could add that toughness we need. Svech - Aho - Jarvis Teravainen - Duchene - Necas Martinook - Staal - Fast Noesen - Kotkaniemi - Jeannot Stepan - Stastny

Seravalli is leaking some of the packages that were sent out San Jose (not including player names). The package that looks like Carolina’s is a first round pick, team’s top prospect, and an additional pick. Based on that, people were speculating that we offered a 2023 first rounder, a 2024 second rounder (from PHI), and Scott Morrow.

We never had a chance… Meier at 50% retained and from what it sounds like they kept Mercer and their high end prospects… The Canes never had a chance due to the personal connections between San Jose and New Jersey.

I’ll wait til the deadline is over. DW pulled Trocheck out of his ass a few years ago so let’s so I’ll wait and see what happens first. I do think we need to fill our two open roster spots with forwards then ship off Coghlan for an upgrade on defense.

Seravalli now reporting that the Canes will look to add multiple players now including a LHD.

Some speculation coming out that Carolina may have just been used by San Jose to drive up that cost and DW got tired of it. It was getting to the point where Carolina knew they didn’t have a chance but were being strung along to drive up the price on Meier. Some posters on another message board said he was pissed at the game last night. All speculation of course but it’s plausible.

And Barbashev just traded to Vegas…

There’s also a rumor going around that Meier prefers Vegas and that if he were to sign an extension, it would only be with them. If that’s true, it doesn’t make sense to give up the farm for 1.5 years of Meier (assuming the Canes would give him his $10M QO if they had acquired him).

Eh, whatever go get Schmaltz, Barbashev, and Gostisbehere. Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis Babashev - Kotkaniemi - Necas Teravainen - Stastny - Schmaltz Martinook - Staal - Fast Noesen - Stepan Slavin - Burns Skjei - Pesce Gostisbehere - Chatfield de Haan Andersen Raanta

LeBrun reporting that the Canes are officially out on Meier as of this morning. Two things can be true. Maybe are offer wasn’t the best (or maybe it was)… OR Maybe the Grier brothers (one works for San Jose and one works for New Jersey) prefer to do business with each other. There’s a lot of personal connections between those two organizations and Meier also has some very close friends and countrymen on the Devils as well. This could simply be a situation where Meier was not interested in Carolina.

If they aren’t going to use the $10M then they need to start handing it out at the door for all the years we had to watch poo hockey being played at RES, RBC, and PNC.

Nashville is said to be having a fire sale and everyone is available except Forsberg, Josi, and Sarros. Wonder if the Canes could get Duchene with 25% retention.

He said that Meier will be traded without an extension already in place and it’s looking more like NJ and less like Carolina.

Friedman is now reporting that the Canes are essentially out on Meier and whatever trade happens will likely occur without an extension in place.

Friedman is insinuating that the Canes are basically out on Meier now…

Can’t wait for Nick Schmaltz and Gostisbehere.

This is setting up to be a shitty 24 hours.

That was deflating… Swiderski with a horrible give away in the defensive third leads to a Revs goal in the last few minutes of the game and the Crown fall 1-0.

Shinyashiki for Gaines

Vargas on for Jozwiak.

I’ve liked Westwood’s activity but for the most part this game has been very choppy.

Devils have scratched Zetterlund tonight, he’s a player that could be included in a trade for Meier. Corey Masisak who covers Sharks for The Athletic believes that the Devils are in the drivers seat… Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

Great crowd tonight.

Yes don’t move Nikishin please, he’s my only untouchable.

If I had to guess… GK - Sisniega LB - Mora LCB - Tuiloma RCB - Malanda RB - Byrne CDM - Bronico CM - Westwood CAM - Swiderski LW - Jozwiak ST - Copetti RW - Gaines Subs - Marks, Lindsey, Sobocinski, Afful, Jones, Bender, Santos, Shinyashiki, Vargas
