What do they get for him

I think the extra year premium is diluted by the $10 million QO. It’s the ability to extend long-term that makes both of those moot anyway.

Holtz plus Mukhamadullin is more than what Horvat got anyway.

no it isn’t.

Holtz > pick
Muk >= Raty

I guess if one saw something in Beauvillier, that could make up the difference.

There are virtually no contending teams besides Jersey who really has the cap this year and next year for Meier. So what's the market for Meier this season? IMO not all much as Sharks hope for. Gotta think this more of a summer move when teams know what the cap will be and what their own team look like and then maybe Meier is a fit.

Meier is worth more than Horvat because he is better than Horvat.
NJ probably only pulls the trigger with a Meier extension already negotiated though
