OK actual Meier news. The Canes are out!

EDIT: LeBrun confirms that Grier told the Hurricanes late last night that they are out. That makes sense, they aren't willing to part with Nikishin and they don't really care about extended Meier, so they're not going to offer as much as NJ, but what about Vegas? Can they afford to extend him even with the Weber move? And what kind of assets would they be able to offer that could match a prospect with pedigree of a Holtz or a Seamus Casey?

At least he's not going to the canes I guess.

Beyond "lol the Oilers broke his brain" what's wrong with Markstrom? You don't go from 26 gsaa to -18 gsaa just because Connor did some dangles on you. He was the runner up for the Vezina last year.

I don't disagree with you but Connor did some dangles for like 5 games and now that $6 million cap hit has night terrors.

Vegas being in on Meier is wild, they’ve traded any young players or prospects worth a drat acquiring Patches/Stone/Eichel. 23rd ranked prospect pool so you would think the Devils would have the edge here, but Stone being on LTIR means they could trade him without giving the Sharks a big contract in return. Long-term I can’t see them keeping him though

Yeah, I guess they could be trying to work some voodoo here but it's tough to see Vegas matching what NJ can offer. Holtz and Casey are both better than any Vegas prospect. The only thing I can think of is maybe Vegas is offering a more-ready piece that the Sharks really like.

Carolina was the only real worry I had as a threat to land Meier instead of NJ, and now that they're out I feel a lot better about the chances.

It really just does look like the Oilers broke his brain.

It doesn’t help that at times he looks like he’s going to return to form and then the defence completely goes to poo poo and then a bunch of high danger chances comes in bunches. Really they should probably send Markstrom down to the AHL and see if winning some games in a row will get some confidence back. Or get a new goalie coach because he doesn’t seem to be doing anything.

Markstrom has let in a goal on the first shot in 7 (is it now 8) games this season. Has to be some kind of record. He is mind boggling bad and it doesn’t help that the team up front can’t score a goal the second they feel any adversity.

he has a NMC, they can't send him to the A.

Goalie brains are delicate and fragile things, it's on Sutter for leaving Markstrom hung out to dry through that whole series and probably irrecoverably breaking an important and expensive asset.

Goalies never want to come out but it's the coach's job to protect their delicate and fragile brains.

I assume them keeping him involves dumping Lehner on someone. I have no goddamn idea what they can offer for him

Barbashev feels exactly what Vegas needs as well, displacing Kessel or Amadio from meaningful minutes

I'm not sure if the haul will be better or worse for Grier. The Devils were competing with many other teams for Meier for a while and so they felt determined to have the best offer. Now, most teams have dropped out and they have way more leverage because the Sharks aren't going to get good prospects from VGK. Maybe another mystery team is still in it, but because the Sharks never granted NJ the opportunity to talk extension with Claude Lemieux (Meier's agent) and now the other teams have dropped, Grier might have to settle for less, not more.

For example, there is no way he is getting Dawson Mercer now, ever, considering Vegas has nowhere even close to comparable to Mercer as a potential asset going back. If the Devils still heard "hey if you don't make Mercer the centerpiece, we're going back to the Hurricanes" they might think otherwise. They wouldn't have traded him anyway, but this was just an example around leverage.

Sounds like they have talked extension. I figure Vegas are out because New Jersey upped their offer again last night. I doubt Mercer goes but I think it'll he Holtz, a 1st and a roster player. Likely more.

I'm assuming Holtz and a 1st are definitely going the other way. I could see a player like Zetterlund or Bahl possibly going, but I would prefer to send a prospect like Casey. If the Sharks insist on Bahl and Meier would sign an extension, then I am fine with that too.
