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

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Probably would need a 2023 first to make it happen so move Graves/Sevo for a 2023 1st+ and then use that return+Holtz for Chychrun. Go full video game.

At this point, you might just wait for Quinn to become a UFA and pull the reverse Scotty Nieds.

??? I thought the first two are locked up

They are... this is where context matters. He thanked the owners for allowing him to go ahead and sign Dougie, Palat, Tatar, Jack and Nico and said "and Jesper will be next"

 

[NJDevs26]

I love how casually & confidently he said Jesper will be next, as if there's no doubt in his mind.

Yeah Fitz must either be drunk on optimism after this deal or he’s giving Jesper the bag he wants to be that definitive

Some of these names seem made up.

 

[Bleedred]

Who the f are these guys? (and I'm not paying any attention to @Devs3cups for putting up links for them. LET ME ASK MY QUESTION, DAMMIT!!)

It’s like the poo poo platter.

Those names all trigger memories of other players, most of whom also weren’t good either.

Some Finnish Santini name looking guy, Timo Pielmeier and Ilya Bryzgalov.

And yes, you read that right. Timo PIELmeier, who was a goalie the Devils acquired along with Kurtis Foster for the two shit bag twins Mark Fraser and Rod Pelley. He even had one relief appearance in the NHL with the Ducks the year before. Played mostly for the Elmira Jackals of the ECHL but got into two games with the Albany Devils. He’s now 33 years old and has enjoyed an extensive career in his native Germany since 12-13, after the one year in the Devils organization.

Whats our cap like

 

[Emperoreddy]

Yeah the conditions make me really not care about the picks. We have plenty of prospects stockpiled still. It’s winning time.

Exactly. This is shit you do when you want to win.

The time to horde picks is over.

 

[newjerseydamo]

Already getting marketing emails to buy tickets thanks to the trade

 

[PizzaAndPucks]

I always tend to stress out and overrated prsopects/picks if we move them. Let's just say we paid a good price to get Meier but we were so stocked up that we could afford to do it and still be in great shape.

 

[glenwo2]

I love how casually & confidently he said Jesper will be next, as if there's no doubt in his mind.

Probably because of two things :

1.) He sees that last season is not going to be a fluke for Bratt this season

and

2.) He's not going to let Jack's contract dictate who he re-signs and for how much.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Whats our cap like

We should have space for bottom 6 help if we want.

 

[Hisch13r]

That would be one epic collapse

We would need to lose essentially every single game. Caps are on pace for be 12th worst and I believe that's the lowest that can move to 2nd. They're on pace for 84/85 pts. We already have 83 lol

 

[Devs3cups]

Uh oh no Timo I guess

Yeah he said to lock up Timo too

 

[newjerseydamo]

Some of these names seem made up.

You got me, I just photoshopped and threw some random names in

 

[Richer's Ghost]

We should have space for bottom 6 help if we want.

Or a 2nd goalie that could carry the playoff load in an emergency...

 

[Better Call Sal]

PP1 of Meier-Nico-Jack-Bratt-Dougie?

 

[glenwo2]

They are... this is where context matters. He thanked the owners for allowing him to go ahead and sign Dougie, Palat, Tatar, Jack and Nico and said "and Jesper will be next"

Me and @Lou is God are sharing a brain here (not sure if I should be honored or Lou be terrified, though).

Thanks for clarifying.

 

[Billdo]

Whats our cap like

1.3 in space

 

[jkrdevil]

Or a 2nd goalie that could carry the playoff load in an emergency...

We already have that in Akira and got an AHL goalie in this deal.

 

[Guttersniped]

The pieces @Bad Goalie has been calling for in Utica

Well, technically they’re the pieces someone, somewhere, in theory, has been calling for in Adirondack.

 

[NJDevs26]

That would be one epic collapse

Or another pandemic that causes a playin where we lose the first round but win the lottery Rangers style

 

[Cheddabombs]

happy 4 u Fitz

 

[Emperoreddy]

I'm also more then fine we pulled the trigger without the contract.

Negotiations could have hung the whole deal up and opened the door for a mystery team to swoop in.

We can negotiate at our leisure now

"signing Jack, Nico....and Jesper will be next"

Damn we didn't get Anssi Salmela from them? We lost the deal.
