One guy wants to be a Devil and the other guy joins his fellow Russians

Good luck getting Timo Meier for anything less than 8 x $9,000,000, Some have even suggested that he wants way more than that.

Tampa does not have a pick until the 6th round this yr and 3rd next yr. Would you use our 2nd this yr on Ross? Not often a hometown kid wants to come home

Moot point, this roster leaves enough cap space to give him 10

TB laughs at a 2nd what part of " We don't care about picks" do people not understand?

I'd use that Haula money on Tatar if Colton is to be our 3C, and I'd pay Boqvist and Bastian less and have Bo be the center, but otherwise I can get behind this.

It's probably going to be closer to 10 than 8, Considering that he already has a $10,000,000 qualifying offer.

For me it's really close honestly. I've loved Tatar's game this year, but I'm wondering if he asks for a raise with a good postseason run. Haula wants to stay for sure after bouncing around quite a lot, and Boqvist and Bastian are kinda toss-ups for me. Although, I personally think Bastian adds a lot to this team that goes under the radar. If we didn't have such a logjam of capable forwards I'd be all in on keeping Tatar.

I've assumed that Tatar would take a discount to stay. After being traded a lot and sitting for a cup run, he'll also want stability.

I don't think the QO is as impactful as people make it out to be. 8 is low, but I can see it being 8.5. I don't think it goes above 9.5

Safe bet, Is in the $9,000,000-$9,250,000 per range for Timo.

No i get it but at some point you're going to have to replenish the team. There are only so many "next ups" in your basket. OIt swild how well it has worked out but its not endless, is it?
