A sharks fan posting a trade that is devastatingly bad for their own team is very strange to see I'm just kinda baffled here and am curious to know what's up

Meier in his prime years and an RFA
Nyquist set to age decline and a UFA
The key issue

Very arguable Merkley > Texier as well

Definitely more upside

San Jose should be all about upside right now

I am guessing that he is looking at the qualifying offer of $10 mil for Meier and thinking that is too much.

Lol Hertl has carried some lines in the past but gosh that'll be hard

To be fair Dahlen has had an NHLe of 40

Each of the past two seasons

He'll be good

Dahlen will be good and sharks fans are so high on Bords and Ek that they've forgotten how good Dahlen is. I would not be surprised if he becomes a top six staple in SJ for years to come

No I'm looking at Timos performance last two seasons and how he's chilled back on his contract. He needs a wake up call

Merkley does not look good. He's been subpar at best in the pros and he does not appear to be improving. His offense is depleted and his defense is still ugly.

Exactly

Such a dynamic talent translates well to NHL style

Absolute gem 😎
