8,8M is a lot of the eggs in the same basket. I would have rather seen Bastian, McLeod & Wood locked before this one, the soul of the team, but I guess this is the price of success and some good players will have to be let go...

Bastian, McLeod and Wood (MILES WOOD????) are the soul of the team? Come on.

Are you…serious?

I'm serious. His beginning with the team was really lackluster.

While he and the chemistry can be expected to improve drastically over time, there is always the risk with big contracts, especially with unproven ones. Meier is currently career 0,7ppg season, 0,5ppg in playoffs and no proven chemistry with the Devils. I have nothing against Meier, there isn't player of his caliber available atm, it's just a general negative attitude against any 7M+ player that doesn't play clean 2-way game or have a very visible playoff mode where he will outproduce himself when the games matter. Normal season stats don't mean anything to me, unless it's clearly a player that can outscore his deficiencies with such a large margin that it also results his lines playing 50%+ winning hockey.

Meier was far and away the Devils best chance producer in the playoffs

if that's a guy without "playoff mode" man find me half a dozen more of them

Of course Timo struggled, he was coming to a new team in-season and off an injury no less. This is part of the reason Fitz doesn't generally do deadline rental trades, Timo had the extra year and they were obviously looking to sign him long term so they were going to live with him not doing as well in the regular season last year.

This is basically Mogilny 2.0 only Mogilny wasn't a candidate to sign long-term. But he was bad his first year with the Devils then popped his second (full) year.

You gotta think Timo is in line for a career year if he can stay healthy.
