Make a massive splash

NJD should keep Holtz and Sharangovich.

Why acquire a guy who will have all the leverage in extension talks? He either gets overpaid or becomes a UFA next summer. I do not believe any team offers him a $10 million qualifying offer, so it is essentially a rental and this is far too rich a price for 1-year rental.

Closest production comps for Meier: Buchnevich, Keller, Fiala, Konecny, Hyman, Schmaltz
Closest contract comps for Meier: Matthews, Kopitar, Stamkos, Rantanen, Patrick Kane

Don’t worry, SJ is not trading Timo. Holtz is not looking so good btw…

That’s a little overboard on the contract comps. He’s hands down better than sharangovich and a more complete player than Holtz will ever be. FYI the contract will look like a 7.5-8.5. Absolutely nowhere near Matthews and Kane money. Also don’t act like he isn’t elite comparing him to konecny, Keller, schmaltz. Meier buchnevich and fiala are all point per game players. The player/contact comps are all overboard. Ppg players come at a cost. Buchnevich is underpaid. Do not compare and very much exaggerate those two categories. I do agree it is risky bc of him accepting his QO and go straight to FA. But if an extension is in place at the trade, you think it could be more fair?

Not that I want to trade him anyway but how is not looking hood?
He's 20 yrs old, had 51 pts in 52 games on his AHL team. He got his look on the Devs who were a tire fire and has done nothing but impressed since then.

Wow we finally didn't rush a players development from his Jr team right up to the majors

The production comps are based on just that. Similarly aged guys scoring at similar rates.

The contract comps are just that. Similar term and AAV.

I wouldn’t move Sharangovich straight-up for him. Neither would Fitzgerald or any GM. But adding Holtz is just a kick in the nuts.
