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

[WTFetus]

Depending on what the conditions are, potentially two 1st round picks isn't a bad haul. Grier was placed in a pretty tough position with DW severely mismanaging this team.

I'm not a fan of all the other irrelevant pieces to the picks though.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Called it.

 

[undercovernerd]

This is a win for Grier. I'll take this deal for what it is.

Also helps the tank for hopefully a top 3 spot.

 

[Tw1ster]

Not a bad haul. You’re alright Grier, you’re alright

 

[Patty Ice]

FINALLY. I can live with this package. Bravo Mikey.

That is definitely not a bravo moment if you can "live with it."

It's a tough deal to stomach. I'm not excited for Grier's vision of a rebuild.

 

[TheBeard]

Hey guys, I just got back from sharpening my pitchfork. Are we still going to Mike's house, or am I too late?

We gotta wait 3 years

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Yea.. no that’s a garbage return for a 26 year old stud top line RW

Look at comparable returns. 2 first round picks, a top four D prospect who’s coming over soon and a couple of good young players who are NHL ready. A lot of devils fans including myself would’ve rathered lose Holtz than Zetterlund and Okhotiuk.

Love how they both play. Zetterlund’s already a solid middle 6 forward and could turn into a good top 6 one for a long time for you guys.

A lot of devils fans have been trying to say this but you don’t get premium assets such as Nemec or Mercer go in deals like this where a teams back is against the wall. Just doesn’t happen.

 

[Jargon]

2 1sts, two interesting D prospects that can actually be pretty good (especially Mukh) and a good complementary player in Zetterlund is not a bad return… I’m kind of happy with it, though wish we got more of a blue chip prospect.

 

[TheBeard]

What are the conditions on the ‘24 first?

 

[fasterthanlight]

I'm conditionally satisfied. Condition: the condition on 2024 first is fair.

 

[Internazionale]

Awful awful awful. Just brutal return here

Super happy we didn't get Holtz. 2 good prospects, 2 guys to plug in now, and 2 firsts. What more did you really want?

 

[Bizz]

What are the conditions on the ‘24 first?

if it's 2024 I bet its just a top 10 protection or something in case things fall to shit in NJ.

 

[Sharkz4Fun]

This is a bad trade and Grier lost for sure, but assuming the '24 pick conditions aren't BS, that's far better than getting Holtz. Can flip it or just risk it. It actually is better than what I was expecting though.

 

[Galactico]

What are the conditions on the ‘24 first?

Leafs making it to the 2nd round.

 

[STL Shark]

Called it.

Just missing an extra 1st rounder and Ohoytuk. Otherwise, you nailed 67% of it.

 

[Internazionale]

That is definitely not a bravo moment if you can "live with it."

It's a tough deal to stomach. I'm not excited for Grier's vision of a rebuild.

I was expecting worse that's for sure.

 

[TheBeard]

Leafs making it to the 2nd round.

f***

 

[OrrNumber4]

It will be interesting to see the conditions on the 2024 first, but it tells me that the Devils really like their prospect pool and hence would rather trade a pick than a prospect...and fair enough!

 

[EnglishDevil]

if it's 2024 I bet its just a top 10 protection or something in case things fall to shit in NJ.

It's either that or based on our playoff performance, I don't think you're allowed to do conditions based on whether a player re-signs anymore.

 

[fasterthanlight]

Leafs making it to the 2nd round.

Drafting guys in 24 don’t do anything for them really. They are young with a lot of talent in the pipeline

 

[themelkman]

Im gonna say it.

I think Vegas could actually have beaten that without trying too hard

 

[Patty Ice]

He put out a second (corrected) tweet.

Grier confirmed letter fetishist.

Holtz barely has 5 in his last name.

 

[hohosaregood]

That 2024 1st better be a gimme condition like NYJ makes the 2023 playoffs

Im gonna say it.

I think Vegas could actually have beaten that without trying too hard

No way, their system is poop.

 

[fasterthanlight]

Yeah I wonder if Z is instantly flipped for picks because we are over the contract limit.
