My pessimistic guess is Buffalo is throwing the kitchen sink cause Buffalo. I can’t imagine going from Switzerland, to California, to…Buffalo? Might be a tough sell as far the extension. Anyway, I haven’t seen a single thing about them being in the running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Meier want to sign an extension there? They’re selling off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way he should make more, or the same as Hughes and Timmo. Really hope he comes to his senses a bit.. and signs for around 7.5mill or so. I don’t think so. The Devils gave up ELC years to sign Hughes to a contract that ends at 28. Jack will get another big contract. Meier, on the other hand, if signed for 7 or 8 years will be approaching his mid 30’s. The same goes with Bratt, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’d be signing up for his Age 25-32 years (assuming he wanted the max term, which I’m not convinced he does…I could see him taking 5 or 6 years and hoping to cash in again).

I think it all comes down to the cap space. I know this was debated furiously, but if it does come down to Bratt for Meier, are the Devils better or worse or the same?

Assuming Meier is already signed as part of the trade, the devils are better. It’s one less Bratt negotiation headache to deal with and Meier fills a definite need. I’d prefer to keep Bratt and Meier though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re selling off The rumor is they want to re-tool on the fly. All the players they sold off are older, they've kept their good young players like Thomas and Kyru. I don't think he'd want to go there either but they were in the rumors earlier in the week. Just now, Colorado Rockies 1976 said: I’m speedwalking outdoors as we speak.

You are correct, I was just assuming a max term for Bratt. Do you think they would offer Meier a max term contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guadana Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Buffalo is the only team who can overoffer us. But they should want to do it and SJ should like what they brings. Only if some team will make some stupid offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
