Confirmed with Link: Timo Meier extended (8 x $8.8)

[Devs3cups]

Timoooooo Timeeeee!!

Btw, props to @Zajacs Bowl Cut, you are quick with the news threads!

 

[Hisch13r]

No reason to sugar coat it, Bratt contract is so much better. Not even sure 8 years for Meier is something you'd want to ideally do in a vaccuum whereas I love 8 years for Bratt.

In any case the cup window is officially open. Great offseason so far.

Feel the same way

I'm guessing they were waiting for the official cap #s to come out before figuring out the extra change.

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

Underwhelmed by this.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Can'T PaY aNyOnE moRe ThaN HuGHeS lmao

I am a bit shocked he got over 8 and 300k over 8.5 is an added factor

Not because of Hughes though but figured, with Bratt taking less and Meier's slow start, we could keep him down.

Ah well, first 300-800k Fitz has misplaced on an RFA IMO is minute so Im glad the deal is done

It shouldn’t be a shock he was over 8. 8.5 should’ve been seen as like the floor here

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

we have Hughes, Hischier, Bratt, and Meier signed for at least the next 4 seasons at under $32 million/year. Incredible.

ITS TIMO TIME

 

[Andre Palot]

OH IT'S TIME!

IT'S TIME!

ITS...TIMO TIME!

Feel the same way

It's like a 300k overpay.

For a top player, it's whatever. Timo had all the leverage to go to UFA if he wanted.

Scrounge up the pennies on some cheap RFAs.

Yeah I said earlier it’s whatever because we got Bratt for less

Only a shock to me personally; I knew he was aiming around 9 and 8.5 was most likely

Was just expecting more Fitz magic but perhaps that was greedy of me, still a great job by him

Both Bratt and Meier below ~17m

[BronzeAgeDevilsFan]

i am very neutral on this deal

 

[njdevils1982]

fondue for everybody!!!

 

[Bcap88]

Let’s go!!!

I think everyone would be happy with under 9

Fitz is a gem

 

[TheNeutralZone]

Oh, I definitely have concerns. He could go full Lucic in a few years and this could look terrible.

But he's a very good player right now and that's what matters. We would've given our collective right arms for a guy like this not too long ago.

 

[Forge]

We are set up nicely for the near future. I'm actually surprised he got more than what some of the centers have signed for recently, but as someone else said, it's basically the Kovy recapture lol

 

[Devs3cups]

So wait... HE GOT MORE THAN JACK???

*pretends to be shocked*

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

Let’s all take a moment to pay some respect to Ol’ Fitzy for not giving us the Summer of Kovalchuk 2.0

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Fitz can sign our RFAs, sign a 3rd pairing D, and a 3rd goalie and take a nap til September for all I care

Yep, that's all I think we need at this point.

 

[TF1970]

i can dig this...... the two #s i had in my head for the extension for some reason were 8x8.85 & 8x8.65, so right around the range

 

[Better Call Sal]

Fitz is a t-rex, do the dino chomp in his honor.
