Value of: SJ Timo Meier

[Scintillating10]

That’s his QO? The plan would
He to work out a long term deal

He's not going to pass that up though

 

[GCK]

I bet he stays on an 8 year deal with an AAV in the 9-9.5M range.

 

[Juxtaposer]

He's not going to pass that up though

Matt Tkachuk did.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

I am sure Canadiens would make a big offer for him.

 

[Groo]

I am sure Canadiens would make a big offer for him.

Yeah! How big?

 

[Sysreq]

Timo is good as gone. Dude isn’t gonna want to stick around on a losing team and it’s better for the Sharks rebuild to get the classic 1st++ back in return.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Yeah! How big?

Probably their 2024 1st or the undetermined Calgary 1st ++

 

[Groo]

Probably their 2024 1st or the undetermined Calgary 1st ++

That's not big. 2023 1st top 5 (the Habs pick) protected to start

 

[Tender Rip]

8-10 million for Timo Meier? And then one has to throw multiple assets after SJ…
Leaves out every good team, I suppose.

I mean, he is clearly a very good player, but that is nuts.

In what world is this “nuts?” He’s a PPG power forward on one of the worst teams in the league.

The salary isn't outlandish. But asset ask is going to limit the suitors. A lot of teams in the mix have been good for a whole and are picking in the 20s frequently. The rebuilding teams might question adding a 8-10 m player when they're rebuilding.

Of the up and coming teams, Ottawa just made a deal for DeBrincat. Something with NJ or NYR maybe?

 

[miscs75]

I’d like to see Lou go after him if he’s available.

 

[CanadienShark]

I am sure Canadiens would make a big offer for him.

Harris + Beck + Panthers 1st + something else, would be my ask as a Sharks fan. If the Habs were a year or two ahead in their rebuild, I'd do this from their side too, but not this year.

I could easily see NJ, BUF, CBJ, DET, MIN, NYI, PHI, PIT, SEA, STL all giving up big packages. It’s not like we wouldn’t take back salary either.

 

[Xirik]

I’d like to see Lou go after him if he’s available.

The question is if Lou will have woken up from his nap to get him.

Lou moves in darkness so who knows.

 

[ETTHAKING67]

A couple of packages I could see from various teams.


Islanders -
Calle Odelius
Anthony Beauvilier
1st 2023 NYI
+
?

I feel Whalstrom should be appart of the deal but it feels like a good start.


Devils -
The Obvious Holtz + 1st 2023


Pens -
Pickering
1st 2023
Kapanen
+
?




Let me know what you guys think !

Obviously would depend on the plus but I hate the Isles and Pens bases. Isles would need to be Raty++. Pens I don’t think have the pieces for Timo. I’d want someone who could be an integral part of our future for Timo. Otherwise we should keep him.

I'm with you at 100%, if they decide to move on from him you hope it's for an A prospect and more and not a package of B level assets.

 

[ref19]

This isn't the boogeyman that everyone makes it out to be.

Tkachuk had a QO of 9 and he was signed and traded at 9.5 x 8 rather than be given the QO. I can't imagine Meier given a 8.5-10 x 8 contract being the end of the world long term.

QO is the worst case scenario, but even then the team can flip as a rental. Most likely the player would want to consider a long term extension over the QO.

8x10 for Meier? I thought Doug Wilson left.

 

[lanceuppercut75]

I mean I’d definitely agree that makes more sense for the Devils. I just don’t like the Devils secondary pieces because it would have been a pretty good plus. Maybe I’m just not the biggest fan of Foote. Sharks really need Cs though. We really don’t have any long term Cs in the org apart of Bordeleau who probably maxes out at 2C. I do love Mercer and totally understand wanting to keep him though.

Perhaps New Jersey trades Bratt at the deadline for high quality futures from a third team, acquires a really good prospect that fits San Jose's needs, and then moves Tatar (cap) and that prospect and other good pieces to acquire Meier on the same day, almost like a three way trade. Or the other way around: Sharks trade Meier for Bratt + some futures, then immediately trade Bratt to a third team for a high end prospect they really really like and other pieces. Tatar not involved.

 

[Shark Finn]

In before some ludicrous 8x9.5M deal because the Sharks are "competing".

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Washington offers Connor McMichael or Hendrix Lapierre + 2023 1st (top 5 protected) + [insert something else]. He’s exactly what is needed in Washington.

 

[Sam de Mtl]

Harris + Beck + Panthers 1st + something else, would be my ask as a Sharks fan. If the Habs were a year or two ahead in their rebuild, I'd do this from their side too, but not this year.

That's probably fair. As you said, I (from a mtl perspective) wouldn't do it either. Even though the value is probably fine.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Washington offers Connor McMichael or Hendrix Lapierre + 2023 1st (top 5 protected) + [insert something else]. He’s exactly what is needed in Washington.

This is a good proposal San Jose would have to consider. Only thing that would hesitate them is another team offering a higher-level prospect.
