Of course they would and the package Vegas would have to be significantly better than ours, but as I said before, Vegas FO is crazy, they pull crap like this all the time.

There’s no reason to be crushed either way.
If Meier doesn’t end up in NJ it’s because the sharks were asking for too much…
We’re fine with or without him
Not necessarily, the Devils are scoring without him. Obviously he would improve the offense, but I don't see it as a need.
If he's exactly what we need, how is he not a need? I mean he checks all the boxes, he's big, tough and has skill.
And it's not a deathblow, our window is just opening, but it's a blow as a Timo Meier would push our progress greatly.
He's got another year too so he wouldn't be a rental. Now Wilson would really check all the boxes for us and would be a shrewd pickup, he's a helluva pickup.
His presence would help greatly. With him and any Plan B, if we don't get Timo, I think it would soften the blow. Even JVR has been mentioned recently for the Devils. So it looks like Tom Fitzgerald has many contingency plans.
Pass on JVR, a few years ago I would have jumped on him but he seems like a shell of himself.
IF the Devils miss on Meier because the Sharks price is too high. That's all I meant.
LeBrun is saying there is no extension and that the Devils became comfortable making the trade without one. I guess that either means the asking price was lowered or they're confident they'll be able to work out an extension once he's here.
Unconfirmed. But Twitter rumor is Mercer IS part of the deal. Please no
With Nemec and Hughes…Casey is expendable. Sucks but that’s the benefit of having a deep minor league system
Yes. I had warned it could have been bogus. Thank god it was
I wonder if Muk is involved at it's probably earning morning and they're having trouble reaching him? I dunno, this is stupid.
IMO when you have a team that is gelling and scoring and arguably outperforming the sum of its parts by a decent amount, shaking things up and bringing in a high profile new guy, no matter how skilled, doesn't always work out the way people want. Also....not to overstate the obvious, but no one is beating the Bruins this year anyway. Call ne crazy but I'm just fine with letting someone else overpay for Timo.
This is fishy to me. If the hold up is Shakir Muk. why would other pieces be notified? As of the last half hour Yegor Sharangovich said he received to word he was traded, along with Zetterlund, and Okhutuk. The longer this goes, the more I fear Fitz made a "Viking, Herschel Walker" type blunder.
