Jeremy Hronek Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) Edit - revised proposal (changed from Kuzmenko to Mikheyev). To New Jersey: Ilya Mikheyev + Tyler Myers To Vancouver: Timo Meier + Colin Miller The cap difference is quite negligible and so it should work from a cap perspective. Colin Miller and Tyler Myers would be a wash (i.e. decent bottom pairing defensemen that can fill in as a #4 when a team has injuries). Coming to the Canucks would be Timo Meier. Meier, for whatever reason, hasn't quite found his footing in New Jersey. When he's on his game however, he's a bonafide Top 6 player that can play the body and be a physical presence. While Meier does carry a hefty and long term contract ($8.8 million for the next 8 years), he's still relatively young and could be a good long term player for us.

Popular Post Elias Pettersson Posted December 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2023 Meier's contract is going to age badly. Don't think I would want anything to do with that contract. He's also having a terrible year, so that is a red flag. With Kuzy, at least we can trade him and his contract fairly easily next season if things don't work out... 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Devils get a player that should be able to produce alongside one of Hughes or Hischier. While I'm not overly familiar with NJ's playing style these days, I think they're style isn't quite as rigid/structured as ours which ultimately allows for more creativity and flexibility (which would suit Kuzmenko's game).

Hairy Kneel Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 We don't need another 8 year anchor contract. We've been through that movie already. They'll be trying to give him away as a cap dump next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
