What is Grier's strategy with Meier? Is it basically rental, sign and trade, or let him walk to UFA at this point? SJ also has LeBlanc signed for a couple more uears and he's a UFA as well, though his production has slowed down.

I mean we have supposed to be trading for him for like the last 3 years, so clearly he is supposed to be signed and traded to us.

Do you have a follow up? 

Yeah it also makes no sense.

Subtracting a PPG player and replacing him with a slightly above PPG player isn’t a franchise altering move. It’s slightly better than a lateral move. 

Having both guys, plus Nico and Jack, that would be a huge improvement.

After all the stuff with Blackwood being anti-vax I can’t imagine signing Bertuzzi going over very well with a lot of folks. 

Blackwood was anti-vax when covid was killing everyone’s grandparents and entire nursing homes were dying, and even then it wasn’t a major story outside of devils fans.

Jesper Bratt isn’t a PPG player. He’s a guy who’s had 1 and likely 2 PPG seasons. 

Pastrnak is a career PPG+ player. Pastrnak will have more 40+ goal seasons in his short career than the Devils have had in the last 25 years combined.

Bertuzzi was literally the last player in the NHL refusing to get vaxxed. To the point he wasn’t even allowed to play games in Canada. He put his “beliefs” ahead of his team. Hard pass.

He is a PPG player right now. Have you been watching any of our games? What makes you believe we can afford to lose Bratt? We need to supplement our scoring, losing him to get Pastrnak doesn’t really address the issue. 

Now if you want to use Severson’s money and Tatar’s money, maybe we’re talking…

This isn’t the relevant point in terms of hockey players. The point is, you needed the vaccine to play certain places, and not getting it directly impacted your team. The theory that the vaccine had some sort of widespread negative consequences was ridiculous speculation. Millions upon millions of people received it with no side effects. 

To say “see, you can still get it” not only ignores the point, but also shows complete disregard as to what vaccines do and how they work and how effective they are.

sorry, how effective they are vs what you were told  is complete bullsh!t.. it did vey little to stop the spread and the natural immunity built up when having it is higher than the vax. thats NIH fact// go look it up     i dont want DM baning us lol
