Sujet: Meier price for each team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>That's not the point. They were bad last year, they're bad this year, and they will be bad next year with or without Meier - they're in a rebuild, of course they're gonna be bad.

The point I was trying to make was you said that they *had* to move Meier because their cap situation was desperate - which it clearly isn't. They can fit his QO on next year's team and shop him as a true rental at the deadline if they don't get their price met this year. Acting like they should take a lesser return than what they're aiming for because they can't fit his cap hit is not reading the situation correctly - they can easily do it, and if you ("you" being any GM interested in him) aren't interested in paying their price, then they're gonna hold on to him.</div></div>

fair enough. you can fit him, but it won't be easy.

And finding a trading partner with his contract won't be easy.

And because that won't be easy, I doubt you will be getting an exorbitant amount back for him. Most teams can't fit him without making sacrifices back.

I prefaced your return for Burns. And VGK's for Patches.

This is the league.

Meier should get a decent amount back, but Grier is a rookie GM in a very tough market.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>poeticentropy</b></div><div>Yes, these offers assume Timo extends with his destination. No SJ is not desperate, not sure why you believe that. The most likely scenario is that SJ will resign Meier and continue their quest for mediocrity
The point I was making is it's not as detrimental to Buffalo to throw in another useful asset as they have a larger pipeline and can afford to easier.
Meier definitely isn't going to BUF if they are actually that stingy.</div></div>

$6mm for 7 players doesn't equal desperate? How many players cost an average of $857K?

The point I'm making is, BUF is the highest scoring team in the league. We don't need more Fs. Would we like Meier? Sure, but we have no reason to just "throw in" more than is necessary.
