That doesn’t look like raty

Dadonov doesn’t have any value

It looks like the next best thing.

Not raty is the next best thing?

Dadanov has negative value.

No way on the MTL deal. Dadonov not worth all of that

you realize in that Montreal trade you're giving up a middle-6 prospect *and* a 2nd rounder in a stacked draft for a 33 year old winger making $5M who just scored his 2nd goal -all season- tonight? Dadonov is worthless, I'd maybe give up a late round pick if Montreal sent him out fully retained, but that's it.

Sharks probably want a '23 1st in any Meier deal, which I'd be fine upgrading to. I know that Raty is the prospect they want but I do think this is a strong package - young NHL-ready LHD, middle-6 prospect with upside, younger roster player, and a 1st. If Raty is the redline for the Sharks, though, I'd say that Beauvillier turns into Josh Bailey and that the 1st stays a '24 - Raty is the Isles #1 prospect and should be valued accordingly.

well obviously by definition... yes...

You're not getting Timo with this package. Plain and simple. You're allowed to dream, though.

What exactly in this package is the next best thing?

I think a 2023 1st in the 16-23 range should be enough for Meier. That's what Minnesota got for Fiala, and they're very similar players.

I know Minnesota had cap issues, but i don't think it lowered Fiala value that much. I'm sure many teams were interested in a PPG player.

And SJ is in a full rebuild. Even if he's RFA, every team know SJ is not extending him. He's getting traded at trade deadline or this summer.

thats not the point of my comment.
