Timo Meier rumour - Sabres contact Sharks

More recent data. We got Tuch, Krebs, a protected 1, and a 2 for Eichel.   3 equivalent 1’s plus a 2, and we sent a pick back with Eichel too. 
 

If Meier is 75% of Eichel, then they should get approx 2 equivalent 1’s and a 2 .  Not 3 equivalent 1’s   

Östlund or Rosen, a protected 2023 # 1, and next years 2 should be ok. His contract is another problem that should favor us in negotiating them down.  

 

IMO due to Eichel's injury and potential locker room issues Meier will cost closer to 100% of what Vegas paid for Eichel. I think at the very least we're giving up Savoie, 2024 first, and Kulich/Rosen/Östlund.

SJ says no.  I think it would take a 1st, Quinn (I'm not giving up Peterka) and a lesser prospect (I'm not giving up Kulich)

I’m here too. Quinn is expendable for someone of Meiers caliber. But JJP and Kulich are the cheap fillers you can’t let go of. I’m sure there’s a way to steer them to someone else.

Gotta give to get. I have my favorites. This is no slight on Quinn, in a few years he’s gonna be a silent killer.

You have a point.

It still doesn't matter; his salary is too high.  Can't do it.

The closest and most recent comparable to a Meier trade would be the Alex DeBrincat deal Chicago and Ottawa made last summer. The Blackhawks traded DeBrincat to the Senators for the No. 7 overall pick, the No. 39 overall pick and a 2023 second-round pick. DeBrincat was younger at the time of the trade than Meier is now. He also had an extra year on his contract. But that’s probably the jumping-off point.

The Sabres have a deep pool of prospects and young NHL players who could be included in such a trade. Jiri Kulich and Isak Rosen are attractive trade chips in Rochester. It may take one or both to get a deal done in addition to a first-round pick.

That’s very doable for McCabe

Im not trading a 1st for McCabe. The latest 2nd we have and a B level guy, sure.

It is.  Gonna start a trade speculation thread to catch stuff like this.

I’d do a 2nd and Kisakov

I don't believe any of this.   

KA's front office doesn't leak these activities to the press.   

TSN has been off base on these Sabres reports ever since KA took over.

Maybe SJ leaked it or player agent?  Idk 

[triumph_communes]

There has to be a negative value for the contract he has. There’s so few teams in the league that can even fit it, even if it’s a long term 8AAV deal.  Two younger players, but only one of them blue chip and a 2nd.

Sabres have to be careful giving up too much cause those are the support players needed to fill out the roster given the core. This just accelerates that process.

Krebs, Östlund, 2nd.  Let’s gooo

I like Peterka's game better going forward

Then pass.  

If we acquire Meier I assume we put him on LE with Cozens and move Peterka where?  Oloffsson scores more.  Girgs plays a better defensive game.

As I have indicated, I think if you do this you are sending Olofsson out in a corresponding trade. Then the Jost line gets either Quinn or JJP and Cozens gets Meier.

Makes sense, but then who'd you give up for Meier and what did you get for Oloffson?

I get a 1st and something for Olofsson

I give up that first (which is presumably lower than ours), Rosen, Weissbach and a 2nd. I think SJ will have a hard time moving a guy with a 10mil signing bonus.

Makes sense.   Trading a goal scorer and acquiring a goal score that is bigger and plays with more presence.

Real quick I just tossed some names but that is the pieces I think you see going. A 1st, a prospect that is in that A- to B+ range, some younger guy that they can probably fit in their lineup with some upside, and a sweetner.

That looks like:

- Sabres 2023 #1, probably top-3 protected

- Philly 2023 #2

- Östlund, Rosen or Sabres 2024 #2 pick

...which is a lot cheaper than Quinn, Kulich and a #1.

That’s certainly what I’d be trying for: effectively, it becomes futures not on the NHL team for upgrading Olofsson into Meier.

And yes, I’d consider switching Peterka or Quinn into the package, but that would make the package a lot smaller.

2023 1st is an absolute non starter. This draft is stacked. 2024? Go for it.

If SJ isn't getting a good roster player in the deal, they are going to insist on a first-rounder this year.

If they want JJP or Quinn, I am probably removing the 1st. But again, I am coming at from Buffalo's side and not SJS.

 

If I were to look at it from SJS side... I would ask for JJP/Quinn, Sabres 2023 1st, Kisakov or similar, and one of the Rochester guys that's young that I like (not Kulich but like Weissback or Murray or whatever their cup of tea is).

If I'm putting in the 2023 1 I want their 2023 2 coming back in the deal.
