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

[DEVILS130]

Johnsson’s NTC is an interesting theory. He has a 10 team no trade list but would San Jose really be on it?

 

[NjDevsRR]

Stop it. You don’t touch the first line right now.

Tatar Hischier Mercer
Meier Hughes Bratt
Palat Haula Sharangovich/Boq
BMW

This isn’t hard folk, idk why some are overthinking the lines.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

No he can’t this deal couldn’t have been done without that. Or Sharangovich.

Timo’s cap hit is 6 million and they’re retaining half. Johnsson’s cap hit is 3 something.

 

[NJDevs26]

If the NTC had something to do with it, we would have heard that by now and the deal would never have been reported as done. And yes there's no way he would invoke a NTC to stay in Utica forever.

 

[Hisch13r]

So Holtz or maaaayyyybe Blackwood would be the hold up? This is exhausting.

Holtz is not a minor piece

 

[HoliksGhost]

Yikes stop with the Blackwood talk… no way that’s even in the discussion

 

[TheUnseenHand]

If Mac can be a minor part of the deal, so can Holtz. I have to imagine Holtz is part of this. And/or Muk. Probably and.

 

[Hisch13r]

Timo’s cap hit is 6 million and they’re retaining half. Johnsson’s cap hit is 3 something.

Johnsson's only on the books for like 2.3 because he's in the AHL

 

[Based Anime Fan]

Did I read that we sent Blackwood to SJ, or am I just a f***ing idiot?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Holtz is not a minor piece

If Mac is, so too can Holtz be.

 

[JimEIV]

If the hold up is actually an AHL piece injury status this is some bush-league stuff.

 

[Devilsfan992]

Johnsson’s NTC is an interesting theory. He has a 10 team no trade list but would San Jose really be on it?

He's not playing in the NHL. I'm sure he'd waive it for an opportunity.

 

[Guadana]

Waiver didn`t canceled NTC?

 

[MartyOwns]

holy shit this is still going on?

 

[MadDevil]

Has to be another piece.

A prospect to round out the pick, roster player, prospect trifecta? Mango is basically just a contract throw in.

 

[njdevils1982]

All donuts are beautiful.

the hole is the best tasting part

 

[Hisch13r]

If Mac is, so too can Holtz be.

Not even close

 

[BahlDeep]

Lol if this is the trade, I don't mind waiting another week for confirmation

 

[Lou is God]

Johnsson’s NTC is an interesting theory. He has a 10 team no trade list but would San Jose really be on it?

Why would he even hold it up? He'd be back in the NHL pronto.

 

[Saugus]

Did I read that we sent Blackwood to SJ, or am I just a f***ing idiot?

That's joking speculation. I haven't seen it reported anywhere as a real thing.

 

[JimEIV]

the hole is the best tasting part

Hey now.

 

[Mgd31]

Friedman only confirmed Johnsson right?

 

[DerekDevils30]

Stop it. You don’t touch the first line right now.

That‘s my guess too. Meier will be a huge upgrade on Sharangovich for Hughes and Bratt to play with

 

[Patrik26]

Fitz vs Grier. Rock-Paper-Scissors. Best of 7 on whatever the holdup is.

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Timo’s cap hit is 6 million and they’re retaining half. Johnsson’s cap hit is 3 something.

Johnson’s cap hit in the AHL rn is 2.75 or something. Regardless we couldn’t take on even Meier’s 3M without getting rid of some significant cap like at least 2M+ the other way. That’s why he’s in it. Doesn’t give us much if any room to do anything else. Was just necessary for this deal.
