All Purpose Trade/Roster Building Thread XIII - the 23 deadline approaches

[ndp]

In the end some middle of the road team (Islanders esque) will grab Meier as that 14-19 pick will have more value in a trade in this draft than NJ's or our 26+ pick. Any other draft and it likely isnt a big deal. Buffalo is my guess. Mittlestadt, a good prospect, and a 1st (top 10-12 protected).

Buffalo makes a ton of sense.

I agree Meier would be a positive addition, but every time someone describes him it gets bigger and bigger. He’s basically Chuck Norris at this point.

But yeah I’d trade for him too.

Yeah, but did I ever tell you about the time Bill Brasky got his ass kicked by Timo Meier?

 

[hohosaregood]

Yes. Similar skill set but more of a shooter than a passer, but has upper tier passing ability. He's not a guy who is going to go out and throw devastating hits every time he's on the ice, but he's a guy who plays with an edge and isn't afraid to hit.

He's not going to challenge for the Hart at any time, but he's absolutely someone who could step in and immediately be our leading scorer going forward, especially if he's able to convert the feeds he'd be getting from the guys he's be playing alongside of on our top 6.

In my opinion, he's the kind of player who would complete the makeup of this team to add the scoring punch to the end of our passes, and he can create his own shot when teams tighten up. He'd be a major help on the PP as well as give us needed scoring punch when teams take away passing lanes in the playoffs. He would add that missing ingredient that would make us a nightmare to play, and if there is a chance to get him, we gotta do it.

Sharks fan popping in randomly. Meier's a great power forward but he's not a particularly physically imposing guy. He skates with aggression through the neutral zone a la MacKinnon or Tuch, he's very strong along the boards, he has some grit to him but he's not going out of his way to blow somebody up, and he's very much a volume shooter so expect shots from just about anywhere. His hands have gotten better lately so he's starting to pull off more small ice dekes in the offensive zone and getting into the more dangerous parts of the ice.

I'd say he'd fit best on a line that needs a puck driver that can carry the puck but he's versatile enough that he can be the puck battler on the boards or be the shooting option as well. I would not expect high end passing from him.

Sounds like a match made in heaven!

In all seriousness it does sound like exactly what the Hurricanes need, big shoot first winger.

Bet this guy can be had cheaper

Yeah but do we really want a guy that eats shit?

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Seeing where Teams are asking the Flyers about Kevin Hayes, 30 year old center with 3 years remaining at 7.15 cap hit.

Should the Canes be kicking the tires on this? I don't know that much about him.

Abso-f***ing-lutely not

Careful now, you might send Rod to the hospital if it lasts more than four hours.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Abso-f***ing-lutely not

Depends. Hayes has played well offensively and is huge at 6'5". I'm not against it if Fletcher is willing to give a good sweetener.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Everyone is expecting Chuck Norris, when maybe we end up getting fat Steven Seagal.

 

[Unsustainable]

Skilled and a tank. 6' 220# is a big big boy. I'd happily take him and trade good pieces the other way to extend, but so would every other team. We'll see.

6’1” and 225# on this page

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

6’1” and 225# on this page

By the time we trade for him, he'll be up to 6'3", 240#.

 

[ndp]

By the time we trade for him, he'll be up to 6'3", 240#.

I was thinking 6’4” 225# put him right there with Jordo.

 

[Unsustainable]

By the time we trade for him, he'll be up to 6'3", 240#.

So we are trading for him in the next 2 pages?

 

[Svechhammer]

Yeah but do we really want a guy that eats shit?

I mean, it wouldn't be the worst thing to have a Marchand on the team

 

[Tryamw]

He played plenty of Center. Jarvis's best year in the WHL with 98 points in 58 games he played C. He then played C and W in Portland and Chicago on-and-off.

I think Jarvis's Center transition would look very similar to Aho's. He plays a similar cerebral game combined with hard work.

I want him to be harder to knock off his skates before doing that

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Got to love Friedman's 32 thoughts and the podcast write up mentions what Carolina and Vancouver will do with their cap space.

LOL. Friedman's mention of us. Carolina has cap space, they are all in, in it to win it. That is it.

Dont even put Carolina in the write up blurb ya bums.

 

[Tryamw]

Why don't we trade for Chuck Norris. No way the other team will take the ice.

 

[htdoc]

no offense at all intended….. buuuuuuut….

When did a 6 foot tall player who weighs 220 become a big, big guy?

Tage Thompson is a big, big guy…. Chara was a big big guy…. Ovi’s backside is a big big butt…. and throughout his career Ovi would steamroll over some folks and use the extra butt bulk in his lower half to his advantage

I suppose compared to the current state of physical development Jarvis then Meier is bigg*ER*…. But we aren’t talking about some massive size difference and a wildly different playing style from someone with a wild intimidating physical presence…. Heck, Meier and Aho are the same height…. And Aho is not towering over anyone in a power forward kind of way

id like to see him on the Canes and see if his game really would be a good fit for how we play…. Not sure I want to have to pay 9.5mx8 along with the trade to find out… so SJ not letting teams talk about extension is a good thing for now helping keep things sane for now. And if they don’t allow talking before the trade I don’t see SJ getting a ransom for him…. No way I would pay some of the packages being talked about in this thread…. We need cost controlled young players to help offfset our high dollar players especially as more and more come up for their next contracts and we have to pay closer to current market rates for those we refuse to let walk…

It almost sounds like NJ is focusing on Boeser. They dont have enough cap space for Boeser and Meier.

What source is that coming from? Genuine curiosity as I haven't seen it.

listening to Friedman's 32 thoughts and then the fourth period.

 

[Stickpucker]

I dream of a 4th line of Chuck Norris, Wesley Snipes, and Jet Li.

Can you imagine the damage Jet Li could do on skates?

The trade world and this thread have seen less action than a 12 yr old white boy with an afro wearing braces and a nasa t shirt and crocs.

I mean, we’re 4 weeks from the trade deadline. It’s understandable.
