He absolutely would be. Our wingers are not anything special...Outside of Bratt and Sharangovich, who are you penciling in? Zacha may get moved to 3C, but I guess he should stay at winger after a 20 goal season. Kuokannen will get some run there. Holtz, as talented as he is, probably isn't ready based off of what we saw last season in Sweden/AHL. Foote?
This next season for NJ is irrelevant, its a growth year for the forwards. Roster construction is focused on 22-23 playoff break through. Any moves Fitzgerald makes will be long term focused. If you agree with that, Meier contract would have to come at a discount or not at all.
.... and SJ won't sell at a discount, so this is probably not a fit.
Though, everyone is right, these things are unpredictable. We are not the GMs.
