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

If we pick up Mercer that’s great, but I really don’t see where this club is competing again in the next 3-4 years when he’ll need a new contract.

It’s fine moving Meier, but they just resigned Hertl for 8 years, and we still have too many years of Couture and Vlasic.

I can’t help but feel like we’re going to be stuck in the Canucks zone.

the hell are we getting

They aren't getting Mercer, but why on earth is his contract situation even on your head? That would be the last thing that matters.

The rebuild doesn't start until Karlsson/Couture are gone regardless.

This is a big moment though. This is acknowledging that the Sharks are bad and need to change this roster around. One brick at a time.

Jones
Kane
Burns
Meier

There’s still Nemec!!

We’re getting garbage and we’ll like it.

 

[SjMilhouse]

Do we really need to wait for Weekes to drive to some weird obscure place to take a photo and tweet the return? HURRY UP WEEKES

 

[mogambomoroo]

Another point: Sharks didn't have to trade Meier yet, so I expect that return could be decent. Since there was actually no real rush and the cards were on Grier side (which we will see soon)
It's totally different if it's an UFA deal.

 

[Kcoyote3]

As I said, my official guess is Muk, 1st, Zetterlund. I love to be prepared for disappointment.

Literally almost exactly what I said lol I'm so scared.

 

[jarr92]

The lack of protection was a big miss, but same thing is true as "can't judge based on the player drafted". No one would have believed we'd end up with a top 5 pick let alone top 3

Maybe he was lying to save face, but DW straight-up said the trade would not have happened with protection attached to the 1st.

DW Jr said that.

The plot thickens

 

[Sharkz4Fun]

Nice, any chance to move Karlsson is done. Grier f***ed that one up BADLY. He'll be stuck here until his contract is done now.

EDIT: NVM, thought they already had 2 retentions.

 

[OrrNumber4]

The plot thickens

Maybe for cap purposes, or contract slots balancing.

Also, my hard-learned rule of thumb is if they don't have the blue checkmark symbol next to their handle to not take what they say seriously.

 

[DrFeelgood]

Devils are my favorite eastern team, so i'm not very sad about this. Curious about the return though.

Glad he didn't go to Vegas where i'd have to hate him

These days, the blue check mark on twitter is borderline meaningless.

IDK why it doesn't show up on the forums but that's the real Pagnotta twitter, and he has a check mark

 

[LadyStanley]

50% retained this season

 

[Mafoofoo]

The plot thickens

Meier + Eklund for some jersey garbage and a high five from his buddy Fitz

 

[Celly4Celebrini]

The plot thickens

Reimer and Blackwood is coming back?

People who got the checkmark before the sale have largely kept it, but anyone recent is doing nothing but paying for it, so it really is kind of useless.

 

[Grave]

I hate this

 

[ChompChomp]

This wait for the inevitable let down on return is unbearable.

[Grinner]

Nemec, Stillman and a 1st
