Puckbuster Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I am very anxious about the trade deadline, but I do believe that no matter what happens Fritz exhausted every opportunity to improve the team for this year and the future. In other words, if they don’t get Timo, it’s because it simply wasn’t beneficial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Feels like the other teams involved are merely circling around just in case it falls through with the Devils; Vegas even made their fallback move. But pretty much feels like the only way this doesn’t eventually happen is if Fitz walks away. I think Grier knows his best chance to get the best package for Meier rests with the Devils…and I think other teams know it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. Unrelated but calendars are sometimes confusing and I’m apparently still learning how they work. Also April 3rd is a Monday if anyone was curious.

I'm sure that's what's holding this up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane is not what they need, but with them it’s always about a glitzy name. Their fans even admit that he’s not going to solve their current problems.

Crisis Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 My pipe dream is that Fitz also has a deal in place to bring Tom Wilson to NJ that won't be executed until the deadline so the Rangers can't try to counter 😈 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it’s about getting the extension done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devlman Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I’m nervous Fitz does something stupid out of desperation like including a Mercer or a Nemec. The return better not be more than Holtz/1st/Z or Shar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I also wonder if they’re working a second move to make Meier’s $6m cap hit work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnson is going to be traded to help with the Cap, probably in any potential Meier deal if it happens or in a trade to a Cap healthy team like Ana.

Do you really believe that Fitz is going to deal off a young kid who is shredding it for the big club right now and still has an insanely cheap year left on his deal? What would the point of that be? He’s not gonna do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not gonna do it. This. And Nemec isn’t going either. I’m sure Fitz loves having a blue chip prospect of both handedness on the way. If he was going to give up either of those two it would have already happened, and Grier would have jumped on it. It’s not even worth talking about Mercer, Luke, or Nemec at this point. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember that Fitz would only make a move for Timo to make the Devils better. If Mercer was ever a part of such a trade, that argument can’t really be made anymore. I’m sure that if Grier refused to back off in wanting Mercer, the news by now would have been “Devils are out on Meier, Fitz to explore other options.” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Sundstrom Ghost Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 So I am not really a big fan of this hockey insider but he is an insider and this seems to be what is going on, so here is the latest from Pagnotta. https://www.thefourthperiod.com/feb-2023/sharks-active-with-meier-trade-on-horizon#.Y_u4wrb7ZvQ.twitter I would say this all makes sense as I don't see Claude talking to mutiple teams at the same time, so this really could be at the finishing line. Don't freak out if it's not done today, saying this to myself and everyone else, but I am positive unless something crazy happens with a hail mary offer that another Swiss might be on the team soon.

Is it something real? Maybe an agent or someone who worked there in the past or currently does so? I know some folks here, not you are not big on Mook, but if we can send Casey instead I would like that better, but yeah this all seems to be leading to the finish line.
