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

Finally.

 

[Hisch13r]

With Schmid on the trip we have a little Swiss Colony going. Any other NHL team have 4 Swiss players? Maybe none has ever had that many at once.

Definitely not at once and maybe not even 4 total in their history lol

I say it as TEE-MO lol

OMG YOU ARE AUSTRALIAN HAHAHA

I love that so much

With this trade we may actually have an absolute majority of current Swiss NHL players.

Haha. Was there any doubt?

 

[Emperoreddy]

They all were a 1000% all colluding down here in Tulum about this over the break.

 

[GeNeXt]

Do we get investigated by the league for this deal at some point for tampering lol. The whole all-star break between the Swiss contigency and potential linemates (Nico, Tatar and Meier). Have to think Grier and Scott Fitzgerald have job security here forever now when things inevitably go to crap in San Jose

We gave up potentially good pieces for a player that is good now. This pretty much signifies the rebuild is over. It's about results now and making noise in the playoffs. A big chunk of the hardworking when it comes to roster construction is done. It's going to come down to the players and coaches to get things done.

Also on a side not this is Ruff's last year on contract. That along with some key UFA's means this is going to be a mong offseason when it gets here. But atleast for now we can focus on the Devils trying to win. It's also good to know we still have plenty of young players (Luke , Nemec , Holtz , Clarke , etc) who should be hungry to fill these spots on in and can arguably be better than the players who we potentially lose.

If you're not colluding you're not trying

 

[Hisch13r]

I don't know if you could've really scripted this weekend much better. Beat a rival 7-0 last night celebrating the 20th anniversary of a Cup team. The 3 stars are the 3 Swiss guys. The next day you trade for an elite Swiss guy.

Like I said last night, the Swiss national team will feel like a Devils team, whenever the NHL goes to the Olympics again (assuming 2026) or a world cup of hockey tournament.

 

[Hisch13r]

Depth please but also go full video game and move Sevo for a 1st+ and use that with Holtz for Chychrun.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Bottom 6 and/or maybe a goalie

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

This guy is a psychopath and I love it

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

is the Timo call available anywhere?

 

[glenwo2]

There totally was some mild tampering going on

 

[Saugus]

Confirmed, there was some hardcore tampering.

Nah I think that was a joke out of control. Maybe they did vacation in the same place, but no evidence they were together at all

Besides - I'm sure players text others hoping to pull them to join their teams, but it's ultimately up to the GMs - timo has no control over the trade

He totally had the buys working to make sure Timo wanted to sign here and then reported back.

They got him drunk on Mezcal and everything

Nah they were definitely together but yeah it's the GMs that make the moves.
