Yeah I know they can waive at least one player and get $2M back, but they will have to get a third (maybe a fourth) team involved so they are only paying 25%.  How do they get a deal done that "favors" them??  They need help and that costs prospects and picks.

They are going to trade away draft picks until year 2030 to get it done.

So Boston has loaded up and they might not be done, Toronto has loaded up, and the Rangers are continuing to load up.

Tampa would like to load up but they have Gucci taste with a Walmart budget.

That leaves Carolina and New Jersey. New Jersey has young, high end talent on their roster (Mercer) and in their prospect pool (Luke Hughes and Nemec) but none of those players are available which has allowed Carolina to make this interesting.

Ultimately I think San Jose will be deciding between Carolina’s offer that’s probably similar to a first round pick, Morrow, and Drury… Or an offer from the Devils that probably consists of a first round pick, Holtz, and Bahl.

The team that gets Meier might even send an extra pick (like a second rounder) to separate themselves.

Posting from Aruba, guys.... before heading over to the beach, looks like Freddie is in net again tonite.

Anyone but me think Raanta might be the silver bullet for a trade deal to get done? He's a UFA and Kochetkov is waiting in the wings...

Having to sign both Raanta and Freddie after the season is not a good place to be in from a GM perspective. Both are going to demand big money for the seasons they've had.

Rub it in why don’t ya!  Aruba is nice. 
 

I thought all year raanta or Freddie would be trade bait with Koochie. We will see.

As he is UFA though only a team that needs a goalie for a playoff run would be interested though. If SJS is our target trading partner we’d have to find a third party still in the race that needs a goalie and would be willing to work out a deal.

Some speculation that if we strike out on Meier that we may go for a package deal of Schmaltz and Ghost.

Svech - Aho - Jarvis

Turbo - KK - Necas

Marty - Staal - Fast

Noesen - Stastny - Schmaltz

Stepan

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

Ghost - Chatfield

de Haan

 

If we could also add some one like Barbashev then I’d be pretty happy.

The Meier situation will probably be wrapped up soon, the rumor is that San Jose is waiting until Marleau’s celebration night is over so that they don’t take anything away from him in regards to publicity within the franchise.

When’s that? Deadline coming up pretty fast.

Tomorrow and from the talk of it, Vegas, NJ, and Carolina are going to make their final pitches between tonight and tomorrow before San Jose decides.

Hopefully we can get him without moving any active pieces. Though depending on his price tag… we have a lot of contracts coming up in the next two years. One of which is aho who is probably going to command 10-12M. Really in two offseason. So many of our core are up for contract in 2024-2025 season.

What would you guys think about a trade for Boston’s Craig Smith?  Would he really be an upgrade to our bottom 6?

Seems like a pure speculation piece, but thought it was interesting.

I really doubt that. Our main rival these days. Neither team will want to do the other any flavors.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
