I'm not as upset as I thought I'd be. We're getting a high pick and another couple picks in the top 40 in a deep draft. We revamped our defence pipeline and added a nice piece in Zetterlund. It's okay, I think.

If I was a NJ fan I would probably be pretty happy too.

Sadly I am a sharks fan

It's a lot, but it's all stuff that NJ can live without.

A bit surprised Muk was apart of it though, Fitz really pushed hard for him.

I like it for both sides.

Cheer up, It's actually pretty good imo if Sharks get that 24 1st - very curious on the conditions.

The devils are winning the cup this year so the condition will be met assuming its based on playoff success

They look good but the east is brutal. Has the condition been posted anywhere?

Its really good if we get a 32nd overall? Ok lol that pick has about a 30% chance of being an NHLer

The classic ex Habs GM Sam Pollock line of "team who gets the best player wins the trade" is often said to this day even. But I don't think it's always the case.

Today, yes NJ wins the trade. Meier is a star and immediately makes the Devils better. But we won't know the value for SJ until at least 4 years from now.

It could be a massive win or a total bust. Or maybe it's just ok. But Grier did well given the circumstances he was in. He certainly didn't get embarrassed like a Peter Chiarelli or Mike Millbury or a Chuck Fletcher would.

Is the condition Stanley cup championship? That would be ridiculous

Unknown but you have to imagine its something like that

ECF appearance within next 2 years or becomes a 24 2nd is my guess
