probably right and FWIW he has been on fire since he was "notified"....a little urgency never hurts.so I imagine the origins of the Jarvis blog rumor were as suspected:
-he was likely the ask from SJS (a la Mercer from NJ)
-his agent very likely let him know he was “in the mix” for a trade. The Canes front office obviously had no intention of ever offering him, for Meier at least
I'm assuming that we wanted some retention to bring in a lhd depth guy.Gotta love unethical "professionals." Plenty of them around the world.
Real slimy situation when nepotism and personal connections seem like a real factor.
Hmm. I wonder...
*Edit* Wait, why would Carolina have cap or roster considerations as Frank said? Assuming we're team #1 in his Tweet?
Yeah, maybe.I'm assuming that we wanted some retention to bring in a lhd depth guy.

I'm kinda glad he goes to NJ- let somebody else sell off the future for a rental they may very well not be able to sign.
Yeah, there it is. They have to give up Mercer. And no extension in place.
Very, very glad we didn't do that.

You don't trade for a player, you trade for a contract. He's a rental. You don't sell the future for a rental if you want to win next year too.This is the guy you sell the future for. Elite in almost every metric.

Of course lolLooks like a fake account.
Yeah.Looks like a fake account.
Yeah, it's respectable. Personally I would've thrown in another non-Nikishin prospect though. Not sure if there would've been one to make much of a difference if Grier has had a hard on for New Jersey this whole time though.I bet that our package was something like Morrow + 2023 1st + 2024 Philly 2nd. Which honestly is pretty good.
