It moved

I think the good move would be drop Wood for Boq.

If this is the "lowered" price because there wasn't an extension then what would've been the price with an extension?

Casey or Holtz?

 

[HBK27]

Unreal... I can't believe we get to keep Holtz/Casey/Nemec. Great work.

Glad we didn't have to give up 2 of Holtz/Muk/Casey at least. But the double first rounders may really sting.

 

[MadDevil]

So it basically boils down to Meier for the two picks, Zetterlund, and Muk. I'm good with that.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Wow, that's just too f***ing much.

 

[jkrdevil]

An unknown AHL player is coming back our way to balance out contracts. According to Friedman is he was injured and that was the holdup

 

[NJDevs26]

Jesus, barely fit all that in the title

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

I mean if we didn’t have a ton of good spects this would look like an overpayment. Im not crazy about it without a Meier extension in place here

but we do, so who cares?

 

[NJDevs26]

Wow, that's just too f***ing much.

Too much for a rental, a steal if not...this hinges on whether we sign him or not

 

[Based Anime Fan]

Wow, that's just too f***ing much.

How? We have a solid group of young forwards, and likely 3 NHL-ready D-men on ELCs.

If this is the "lowered" price because there wasn't an extension then what would've been the price with an extension?

My guess is this is something between the no-extension price and extension price because everyone kinda sorta knows an extension is coming, especially giving up all that stuff

If I'm a Carolina fan I'm eating all the Tums and Rolaids right now.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Fitz has to have a pretty damn good feeling Timo would re-sign. At the worst, you get that first in a trade flip at the draft and you can pick his destination so he doesn't wind up signing in the East.

 

[EnglishDevil]

I'm not thrilled about the second 1st round pick, but otherwise nothing in this deal bothers me that much. I loved what Big Z brought, but he isn't a core piece. Okhotiuk was clearly outplayed by Bahl. Losing Mukhamadullin is unfortunate, but probably had guys ahead of him on the depth chart. Johnsson is a cap dump.

And in return we get Timo f***ing Meier! How could I not be happy about that?

We got an elite player without giving up anything of substance off our NHL roster and kept our top 4 prospects (Hughes, Nemec, Holtz & Casey).

Can't argue with that.

 

[TF1970]

Apparently the conditional ‘24 1st is tied into how far devils go in this years playoffs??

 

[NJDevilsFan21]

People are too used to our 1sts being top 5 picks. Our 1st this year is basically a 2nd, as could next year's be.

 

[Billdo]

Extension?

Probably just so they can say Timo Time

 

[Satans Hockey]

Not at all worried or fussed about getting rid of Zetterlund.

Love the trade. We are officially the Swiss powerhouse

 

[Better Call Sal]

I’m not worried in the slightest about Meier flaking on an extension here. I think he will be more than happy to do it.

It’s Bratt that worries me down the road lol

 

[devilsblood]

Definitely not a heist, but I think we did well in keeping our top prospects out of this.

Odds are they don't get our 2024 1st and if they do we are games away from a cup

I missed it, what's the condition? And what happens if the condition is not met?

 

[Triumph]

Sad to lose Okhotiuk. would prefer to lose Bahl.
Would prefer to lose Holtz over Zetterlund. Understand Shakir as the key prospect piece.

Anyway we still have Holtz, Gritsyuk, Casey, and Nemec with Luke.

It`s a trade of Tkachuk level, but we payed by prospects and saved best.

I think it makes Graves more resignable.

Yeah, this is where I'm at, mostly. I'm fine with Okhotiuk instead of Bahl, bummed to lose Mukhamadullin but there just wasn't space for him here, and Zetterlund is a perfect Swiss Army knife sort of forward. But there's a lot left on the horizon.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

If you’re that upset about the 1st round picks, we can grab one for Severson and bring in a decent vet for the 3rd pairing with Luke.
