Yeah I know they can waive at least one player and get $2M back, but they will have to get a third (maybe a fourth) team involved so they are only paying 25%.  How do they get a deal done that "favors" them??  They need help and that costs prospects and picks.

They are going to trade away draft picks until year 2030 to get it done.

So Boston has loaded up and they might not be done, Toronto has loaded up, and the Rangers are continuing to load up.

Tampa would like to load up but they have Gucci taste with a Walmart budget.

That leaves Carolina and New Jersey. New Jersey has young, high end talent on their roster (Mercer) and in their prospect pool (Luke Hughes and Nemec) but none of those players are available which has allowed Carolina to make this interesting.

Ultimately I think San Jose will be deciding between Carolina’s offer that’s probably similar to a first round pick, Morrow, and Drury… Or an offer from the Devils that probably consists of a first round pick, Holtz, and Bahl.

The team that gets Meier might even send an extra pick (like a second rounder) to separate themselves.

Posting from Aruba, guys.... before heading over to the beach, looks like Freddie is in net again tonite.

Anyone but me think Raanta might be the silver bullet for a trade deal to get done? He's a UFA and Kochetkov is waiting in the wings...

Having to sign both Raanta and Freddie after the season is not a good place to be in from a GM perspective. Both are going to demand big money for the seasons they've had.

Rub it in why don’t ya!  Aruba is nice. 
 

I thought all year raanta or Freddie would be trade bait with Koochie. We will see.

As he is UFA though only a team that needs a goalie for a playoff run would be interested though. If SJS is our target trading partner we’d have to find a third party still in the race that needs a goalie and would be willing to work out a deal.

Some speculation that if we strike out on Meier that we may go for a package deal of Schmaltz and Ghost.

Svech - Aho - Jarvis

Turbo - KK - Necas

Marty - Staal - Fast

Noesen - Stastny - Schmaltz

Stepan

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

Ghost - Chatfield

de Haan

 

If we could also add some one like Barbashev then I’d be pretty happy.

The Meier situation will probably be wrapped up soon, the rumor is that San Jose is waiting until Marleau’s celebration night is over so that they don’t take anything away from him in regards to publicity within the franchise.

When’s that? Deadline coming up pretty fast.

Tomorrow and from the talk of it, Vegas, NJ, and Carolina are going to make their final pitches between tonight and tomorrow before San Jose decides.

Hopefully we can get him without moving any active pieces. Though depending on his price tag… we have a lot of contracts coming up in the next two years. One of which is aho who is probably going to command 10-12M. Really in two offseason. So many of our core are up for contract in 2024-2025 season.

What would you guys think about a trade for Boston’s Craig Smith?  Would he really be an upgrade to our bottom 6?

Seems like a pure speculation piece, but thought it was interesting.

I really doubt that. Our main rival these days. Neither team will want to do the other any flavors.

    • This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.
    • All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.
    • Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
