Confirmed with Link: Devils acquire Meier (50% retained) and four others from the Sharks for 2023 1st, conditional 2024 1st, Mukhamadullin, Okhotiuk, Zetterlund & Johnsson

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

think of it as Eric Gelinas instead of Zetterlund if that helps make you feel better!

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Shayna is great.

 

[Devs3cups]

You have to give to get. Jesus guys it's not that complicated.

If Zetterlund is untouchable the whole god damn roster is. Like, sucks losing him and I like him a lot, but it's a no brainer.

 

[crashline]

This is taking so long I just googled Scott Harrington.

And so did our beat writer too apparently ...

 

[devilsfan35]

If we keep holtz that’s huge

 

[Guadana]

Like Z. Always like players like him. I will accept it, but it`s really sad to lose him. Anyway we cant trade Meier for bahl+talvitie

 

[Ripshot 43]

 

[Lou is God]

If we keep holtz that’s huge

And Casey.

 

[R8Devs]

ahh well, liked Zetterlund, feel like this trade could have made more sense for both sides without him in it, but you can't have him be a dealbreaker for a player like Meier

 

[Devils731]

If we are really waiting on Muhk and there’s a 1st and there is Zetterlund…if Holtz is also in it then that seems like a haul for SJ if it’s just the 2 players being sent out.

If Holtz isn’t involved then that feels a little light for SJ.

 

[Hisch13r]

A very good hockey writer, but normally not a news breaker

Idk she's been breaking stuff quite a bit recently

 

[Rhodes 81]

Shayna wouldn't just throw shit out there so this is believable . Sucks to lose Zetterlund but he's replaceable

 

[Based Anime Fan]

I predict:

Zetterland
1st
Wood
Casey

 

[Billdo]

Devils part-time to occasional writer for the athletic.

Fixed

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

If we can get Meier/Bratt to sign extensions at a cheap enough price to afford Sharangovich for a few more years it'll work out well.

 

[Ginger Papa]

So lets assume that Zetterlund is not going back in the deal. Is there any merit to simply breaking up the top 3 of Nico / Jack / Bratt? We know that this Nico line works. We know jack will work regardless of who he is with. Putting Bratt / Timo together on their own, even if it's with someone like Haula should still drive some real action, right? I mean, Bratt carried Goose and Zacha to usefulness a couple of years ago.

Tatar - Nico - Mercer
Pala - Jack - Zetterlund
Bratt - Haula - Timo

Wood - Mikey - Bastian

Boqvist

Or maybe we add a rental like Domi who can slot into center that third line?

I appreciate the work you put into this. May Timo score 25 goals in the run towards the Playoffs for you my friend.

 

[RememberTheName]

Love Zetterlund but if that's the only big 'player' piece going back this trade is a 150% win for the Devils

 

[Better Call Sal]

So long Big Z

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

Where is this Fab business coming from?

 

[Jets012]

Zetterlund going to be a real nice player but not going to lose sleep over losing him (as long as we extend Meier and Bratt)

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Where is this Fab business coming from?

Shayna reported it looks like he is involved.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

God I f***ing loved Zetterlund as a player, but gotta give to get. Definitely getting his SJ jersey

 

[Cheddabombs]

Finally, give me those sweet sweet trade details

 

[Blender]

Where is this Fab business coming from?

From Shayna.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Would have preferred Sharangovich, but that's how it goes.
