I feel this.

Is Grier still refusing to let Meier talk contract with other teams? I don't understand how that is in SJ's best interest.

Dundon signaled the Canes were going to be aggressive.

They have assets to make it happen and with Toronto, Boston and soon Rangers adding they needed to make trade IMO to improve team for potential deep playoff run and beyond (They can sign him longterm)

He was never refusing. He wanted a trade worked out first.

Nothing will happen tonight though. He will likely sit due to his “injury” and then you’ll hear more tomorrow. It’s Patrick Marleau’s Jersey retirement today. Grier will not do anything that takes the attention away from him.

Hope Vegas gets him. Hed be an excellent fit

If its the Canes, I can see Gregor included as well. He's apparently asked for a trade and Carolina needs some grit in their bottom 6

Can you post something that says Gregor asked for a trade? That is surprising to me.

 

[NewEraGM]

Still expecting a move from Carolina, TB, and NJ. I think those are the only teams left in the east who will make big moves (other than Kane to NY)

Out west could be anyone, but I think SJ will trade him out east. Sounds like Carolina or NJ for me when it comes to Meier.

TB may not have the room.

He’s gonna be a great get for someone

Where the hell did you see Gregor asked for a trade? No Sharks sources have said this.

I think Grier is probably negotiating multiple packages with teams. Some with an extension and some without. Once you have a return you’re satisfied with then you let that team negotiate the extension. No reason to allow that beforehand. Grier knows talking to Meier’s camp who he would be interested in extending with.

Heating up for months

This is where Holland, using his famous Cap Magic™, swoops in, lands Meier and Karlsson in the same deal, and once again unsurprisingly turns the hockey world on its head.

I also had that dream last night.

 

[Agalloch]

I bet Seth Jarvis would be included.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Grier's doing it right, work out a deal conditional on extension and then let the team talk to Meier if it ups the return. You can't let Meier and his agent drive the bus here.

Holland is still having his nap.

The arms race is entirely in the East.

 

[Michoulicious]

NJ has to get him. Missing on a top 6 winger with some kind of grit would be a HUGE mistake. They severely lack that, that would help them a lot.

The Rangers are just going to eat them up in the 1st round if they don't get an upgrade at wing.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Canes and Devils are going to have a massive bidding war after the Rangers land Kane.

And it's going to be GLORIOUS

 

[WSS11]

I bet Seth Jarvis would be included.

I’ll take that bet and happily pay up if I’m wrong lol

I am unsure how much it changes negotiations or the return but I was disappointed the Canucks didn't allow HoBo to talk to teams...I mean it was clear he wanted the same if not more than JT Miller but again the return was lackluster for what the Canucks needed so it is par for the course with how that organization operates
