Would be crazy not to do that honestly.
A 1st is a 1st alright, we have 2.
Jones is someone I was hoping would grab a spot and run with. He should be playing over Harpur but he didn't exactly shine in the moment either. He still could, but its pretty clear that if he becomes something it won't be here.
Kravtsov blows.
Its really a 1st and Jones. Thats more than reasonable for a rental Meier.
He'll get more from someone if the Sharks move him at all. They don't have to do it yet.

Well Kravtsov has no value and we have 2 late firsts so we can afford to deal one. Jones is the guy I'd prefer to hold onto but if you're getting the best player available at the deadline, who you can flip for assets or find a way to keep (Kreider trade?) in the summer, its a worthwhile risk.

Fair. I guess I translated it for the Rangers as teams do with most deals. I feel like they'd be trying to rip one of the boys from us.
Fair enough. Like I said above, I translated that a bit like I feel it usually goes with us.
Crazy,... but I'd do it with a 2nd that could turn into a 1st with a Cup appearance. That + being able to explore him as a long term option before possibly shipping out his rights before July 1st deadline would be a worth it gamble to me.

Kaplan: Latest on Dylan Larkin, David Pastrnak and more buzz from around the NHL
Is a deal close for the Bruins' star wing? Can the Red Wings keep their homegrown star in Detroit. Here's what we're hearing around the league coming out of All-Star weekend.
"With Horvat moved, all eyes are on Timo Meier as the top forward available. He's 26, and scoring at a career pace (0.55 goals per game through his first 51 games) at exactly the right time. Meier is a restricted free agent this summer (albeit with a $10 million qualifying offer). But teams around the league are hoping to negotiate a new contract with Meier's camp in facilitating the trade, hoping they can get him in the $8 million to $9 million range. The Metro rival Devils and New York Rangers are both very interested, though cautious about getting into a bidding war, because they're not alone in that interest. "Everyone is talking to San Jose about Timo Meier," one Eastern Conference executive told me. "Everyone is monitoring it."

I don't see how we could be in the Meier sweepstakes, we can't extend him unless Drury does something stupid.Kaplan: Latest on Dylan Larkin, David Pastrnak and more buzz from around the NHL

Seems like there is so much smoke around this one. Rangers have those pieces. They have the "deadline space" to take his current contract on. I guess it is possible they do swing a deal for Meier. Keep him for the playoffs, and gain assets back in a trade post season prior to Free agency. Deadline is June 29th for Qualifying offers for RFA's. If they fail to do so he becomes a UFA. I would assume, they wouldn't let him go there so they could give him the QO and then look to work with his agent on a trade and recoup some of the assets they gave up for him prior to free agency. Maybe get a 1st and a prospect or cost controlled player back from another club looking to sign him. This could also be a way to keep him out of Jersey. The thought of Hughes and Meier or Hischier and Meier makes my stomach turn!
Maybe Drury's playing Chess. Too much?
One for one Horvat i would say is the better of the two players but it is very close. Centers are always worth more. Both players are currently near PPG production. Horvat for the 1st time in his career has surpassed it but the seasons not over yet. Horvat got $9.5. I read Meier's QO is $10mil? Seems high. With that said, it's certainly out of reach in terms of what the NY Rangers can afford under the cap. But, the ask for him doesn't seem like its too much if an acquiring team is willing to and has the ability to give him a new contract.
Meier LW/RW 26 Years Old- 445 NHL Games.
Horvat C 27 Years Old- 621 NHL Games.
