He probably recorded that video in the previous days or weeks and was holding on to it just for this day.
Great move for NJD.

I love the deal, keep the core together on decent 2023 valuation and when the cap goes up it’ll look much better
Great news for the Devs. I know his production disappointed in his short time with the team last year but I’m gonna chalk most of that up to acclimatizing with a new team and system. He’s too good not to return to form. And the ability that he has to play with power through opposing defenders is a very critical piece for the Devils line-up construction long-term IMO.

I don’t know. I have two thoughts:
Timo Meier is spelled with only 9 letters. NJ is paying an exorbitant $944k per letter per year.
Timo Meier is of Swiss descent. Swiss cheese has holes in it, and by the transitive property, Meier has holes. How will he hold (holed?) up over the next 8 years?

Nice of Weekes to do that in front of the hospital I was born in.

I don't think he will be as productive in NJ (they created a lot of high danger chances and generated a lot of changes off the rush. Just didn't seem to be his kinda' style to produce) but that's still a good contract even if he doesn't produce at the rate prior to the trade.

If he doesn't eat off our rush offense 5v5 which he looked a lot more comfortable later in the year, he'll absolutely wreck havoc on their powerplay. All he has to do is either sit in the bumper and deflect Dougie bombs or be put on the half boards across from Hughes and one timer pucks.
FWIW to this deal, I think the numbers to this deal are probably right but they have other small stuff to hammer out which is why they pivoted to signing Haula first.

I think once he gains some chemistry with his teammates, his net front game will be his biggest asset here. With Hamilton and Luke at the points, he should be cleaning up in front of the net, on redirections, and screens.
Not to mention he’s likely going to be playing with either Bratt and Hughes, both guys should be able to set him up consistently offensively.
Fit will be interesting. He and Jack could be downright dominant at times together, but the results weren't always there. It did look funky at times. Throughout the season, there may need to be thoughts of breaking him off to his own line away from Jack and Nico, which could be interesting.

Seems like the right amount of money for both sides so I’m not seeing the steal, but I’m happy the Devils figured it out.
