Confirmed with Link: Meier, Harrington, 3 prospects, Col's '24 5th to Devils for 2023 1st, Zetterlund, Johanson, Okhotiuk, Mukhamadullin, conditional 2024 1st, '24 7th

[Alaskanice]

Holtz is presently injured.
I say this because Friedman said this may be over an injured player.

 

[DrFeelgood]

I've been saying 3-4 years. And this is on top of the two years already. I don't think the Sharks as a franchise can wait 6-7 years to become good again, not with the sports choices in the Bay Area.

If we're being honest with ourselves, this year is the first year of actually putting effort into a rebuild. The last few seasons have been clinging on to lost hope and DW leaving was a sign that it was over and the rebuild was on.

 

[Gecklund]

 

[Negatively Positive]

Injury concerns are what’s holding up the deal according to Friedman.

Can't wait to find out we've been shooting Meier up with toradol and didn't disclose it so we have to give our 1st.

Wonder if Meier is buddies with Correa

 

[WTFetus]

From an NJ fan:

Zetterlund is a player we’re all huge fans of. A lot of people didn’t want to include him in this deal. Hardworking and a pest on the ice. Physical, smart and willing to shoot.

I think a lot of fans think he can excel in an expanded role. We really don’t like losing him.

Zetterlund seems like a solid depth player for a contending team. But his skillset doesn't really help the Sharks current trajectory. I'd personally rather even have a 2023 2nd than him.

 

[Gecklund]

 

[Bizz]

I hope the deal gets scrapped and Grier accidentally ends up trading him somewhere else for a better return than the trash that was initially reported.

So is Meier.

From a Winnipeg fan:

Essyimont is a player we’re all huge fans of. A lot of people didn’t want him waived. Hardworking and a pest on the ice. Physical, smart and willing to shoot.


I’m sure you guys are crying yourselves to sleep trading a 3rd line player for Timo Meier

 

[Tap11]

New to the boards, but if Holtz or better (Nemec, Mercer) is not included than Grier is dreadful at his job.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Elliote's "no reason to panic" line is funny to me. The Sharks (And Sharks fans) are losing a star player. We are way beyond Panic at this point.

Holtz will be a Shark
Next season we get Eklund and Holtz together again.

Plot twist: the hold up is over a Bennington contract extension

East coast bias. He's talking to the Devils fans. Who cares about Sharks fans.

I think you made my point better than I could. As a Sharks fan I see that tweet and be like "We're way passed Panic" now.

 

[TheBeard]

Maybe Timo re-signs with us I. 204-25

Yeah on the Barracuda lol

Not saying I want Holtz to be injured, but I dont like this framework that much anyways so if he is

He probably meant to say “no reason to panic New Jersey. The sky isn’t falling; you actually did get a star rfa player for literally nothing!”

But I’m also just saying stuff to ease the sadness of losing Meier

 

[OffSydes]

Pretty stoked to have a bad GM leading the rebuild

"Hey, I know you gave up your wagyu steak, but my McRib will be worth it. It even has more calories!"

f***ing golden

You are a true HF Sharks treasure.

To be honest, I dont think he thinks it is a rebuild. A rebuilding team doesnt target Jordan Greenway

 

[undercovernerd]

I agree and am oftentimes shocked when I read fans thinking we'll suck for the next 5 years while going through a full rebuild....

We are rebuilding on the fly and though we'll probably suck for 5+, don't tell MG that! EK65 is ready to double production and WILL us into a playoff spot next year.

To add.. It would all make sense if we received Mercer. He could potentially grow into 1c with hertl dropping down to 2c. Add a solid D prospect + draft + ekky/bords and we could be entertaining quickly.

A rebuilding team would trade Timo, a competing team wouldn't.

And they don't keep Couture and Vlasic just because they like to be here.

You don't fool me Hodge, trying a new persona with sane takes.
