This makes me think they really did try this year. The decided its not possible recently and now next year is full tank.
they really could get a head start on this given that we have a half season we could avoid being mediocre in lol

For me, it's Karlsson. It's just more difficult to move that contract than it is to deal with Meier either now, the offseason, or next trade deadline. And in terms of helping the tank now, it's definitely Karlsson that has more impact on the team winning than Meier does.In everyone's opinion, who are you more urgent to trade, Timo or Erik? Timo obviously only has half a season and than an expensive RFA season so the team could technically sit on him for a year or so, but is that in their best interest? Karlsson may very well be back to the Erik of old, but is it worth the risk of waiting around to find out?
I can't see any team giving up a second for him. He strikes me as someone who can bring back a struggling prospect.If we can snag a second for Megna I will be really happy. Wonder why no Barabanov smoke yet, maybe the extra year

They’re going to trade everyone away and suddenly Lindblom is going to start scoring at Meier’s level because the hockey Gods hate us and don’t want us to get Bedard because he’s a small winger.
I don’t think you can retain on future contracts but I have nothing to back this claim.This might be a silly idea, but I'm firmly in "run out the clock" mode at work so I thought I'd throw it out there.
If the $10M QO for Timo indeed proves an obstacle in trade discussions, is it allowed for the Sharks to sign Timo to a 1-year extension before the deadline and then retain 50% on both years to get him to UFA? I think that's technically retaining on two separate contracts (albeit in different years), and I don't know if there are other rules on when you can and cannot sign RFAs during a contract.
Not even saying it's a good idea, just curious if those mechanics are allowable. I assume having Meier at $5M next year for someone who thinks this and next years are two good chances at the cup would be very appealing.
That’s correct. It has to be the current contract. Hypothetically though if we did a sign and trade in the off-season, I THINK we can retain on his contract.I don’t think you can retain on future contracts but I have nothing to back this claim.
While Timo is probably a better than Cat, Cat had a year left. I’d probably be looking for one first and one solid prospect.Debrincat got the Hawks a top 10 1st, 2nd and 3rd in 2024. For Meier with an offer sheet already in hand, id want a 1st, a 2nd and a prospect who’s not at the top of the other team’s prospect pool but a guy who’s got great potential. Not some out the door, career AHL guy. That’s just me. For EK, I’m hoping for 2 stud prospects and a 1st. For Megna, meh, a 5th In 2024. Barby, a 2nd in 23’ or 24’ and 3rd in 2023 would be ideal. Ferraro, same as Barby. Bonino, a 4th in 23’. Id prefer not to trade Sturm Or Lorentz. Gadjovich…Whatever you can get. Nieto, a 4th in 23’ or 24’. Reimer, I mean, is a 2nd or 3rd in 2023 too much to ask?
Same here! I think the dream would be Meier (extended) + Merkley+ 5th for Jarvis + Nikishin + 1stIf Carolina is in the market I would kill to get Jarvis. Wanted that guy for so long
Jarvis and a 1st would be a great consolation for losing Meier.Same here! I think the dream would be Meier (extended) + Merkley+ 5th for Jarvis + Nikishin + 1st
Then deal the depth players + Reimer at the deadline and then HOPEFULLY have a Karlsson deal done by the draft
