Sujet: MEIER
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>edeangel84</b></div><div>Show me which players received 2 1sts in a trade and tell me if Meier is their equal. Eichel got something similar in Krebs who was a 1st, a 1st, a 2nd, and Tuch. Kerbs hasn’t panned out to equal a 1st. Meier is no Eichel. Debrincat got a lottery pick, a 2nd, and 3rd but again he is a better winger. Rarely does a player get two 1sts and Meier isn’t in that caliber. If we were to trade Jake Guentzel tomorrow I wouldn’t expect 2 1sts even if he was going to be an RFA instead of UFA. Very few players are worth that price.</div></div>

Eichel was a NMC, so he decided where he went. This lowered the price quite a bit. Debrincat was a throwaway by Chicago gm purely for the sake of losing. Pretty much everyone thinks that Chicago should've gotten more. The return wasn't assets for Chicago management, it was a better shot at Bedard.

Again, I remind you that the prices aren't arbitrary. Maybe it is an overpay in other years. But the market cost for Meier is rising as teams are trying to outbid each other. What started as a 1st, a high prospect, and a roster ready player has become 2 firsts, a high prospect, and a roster ready player when both the Blues and Washington got two 1sts this year to trade for him. Now, other teams have to try to top that to get Meier.

And for a team like Vegas, who has struggled scoring for stretches, especially on the powerplay where they are 0 for February, bringing in an elite scorer will be astronomically beneficial. Especially since it would make Eichel more useful, as he hasn't had any players that pair with his play style well since Stone's injury (who will be out until playoffs minimum). Meier is exactly the player that Vegas needs, not just to add the scoring he brings, but to add the scoring he'd make his linemates bring.
