Hirose is not a prospect. Mastro is more like a D prospect. Johansson is not an A prospect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, Let's review how you don't START negotiations = you don't START negotiations by giving up your best assets. Our 1st round pick this year could be a lottery pick. We are obviously not going to give up our 1st AND Edvinsson, Wallinder, Kasper, Cossa. The reason SJ wants an A prospect is because they're expecting the 23 1st rounder to be in the 27-32nd pick range. If it's in the 10-15 pick range, that makes a big difference in the rest of what we have to give up. I think the actual return will be a lot less than what San Jose is offering IF it gets done. He's RFA, so I don't even know why they are trying to unload him. He's good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,457 Report post Posted February 16, 2023 They can't afford him. He's got an extremely high qualifying offer, something like 10 million, and their financials are a wreck (apparently, I haven't looked). Lots of speculation that whichever teams lands him in a trade will qualify him at 10 million then work out a long term extension at a more appropriately priced deal. It's not unheard of, Carolina did the same thing with Kotkaniemi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll start by saying that I haven't really watched a ton of SJ and so my only familiarly with Meier is largely based on his league reputation and stat lines (so take this with a grain of salt). The only comparably players that have been traded recently have been hockey trades. Laine and Roslovic were traded to CBJ for a good young center: Pierre Luc Dubois. Mathew Tkachuk was traded for Huberdueau and Weegar. But for Wings' fans I think the most telling example is Mantha. Meier is what Mantha was supposed to be. Same player, but a better version. And Mantha got Vrana and a 1st (the 2nd and Richard Panik I consider a second salary-shedding move that happened at the same time). Now, our 1st will be more valuable than Washington's was in the Mantha trade but we're also not giving up anything as proven as Vrana was (at the time) because we don't have any pieces like that. So... 2023 1st, Berggren, Wallinder is probably the best package we could put together that would get us in the ballpark (assuming Edvinsson and Kasper are untouchable).

kipwinger 8,457 Report post Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) This is...an interesting choice. In terms of defensive depth I'm not bothered by it. Chiarot has played his off side in the past and you could easily still go into next season with: Walman-Seider Maatta-Hronek Edvinsson-Chiarot But I really don't understand taking this trade chip off the table just for the sake of signing a 2nd pair defensive defenseman.
