And there goes our hopes
So…who else is available?
For the best. At his price it wouldn’t have been worth it, I’d rather see what Brisson can do in a Knights uniform.
We don’t have to make the big splash every year.
Probably for the better, we didn’t have the money or the assets to match NJD.
I would have actually liked Meier but the price seems like it’s gonna be high. Kane really was a perfect rental opportunity, but it’s a shame he wants the rangers.

[Seravalli] To set the table for Timo Meier, #sjsharks turned down some big offers in recent days.
Team 1: 1st rd pick, 2nd rd pick, top prospect
Team 2: 1st rd pick, recent 1st rd pick, mid-tier prospect
Both teams had other asks – cap or roster considerations – but this will be sizable.
**Team 2 had to be Vegas.**
The shiny-new-toy-crowd would have traded all of VGK’s prospects, their firstborn child, and their left nut to get Timo Meier.
[VGK and CAR were not given permission to speak to Timo Meier’s agent about an extension, per Emily Kaplan](https://twitter.com/emilymkaplan/status/1629975256931655681?s=46&t=ypjNZcrQcaYYH1G3J83Ucg)
Damn, that blows.
4 players and 2 1st round picks. Would have been more for the Knights cause they are in the same division.
There was just no way the Knights would be able to afford all that.
Is there any chance Minnesota is interested in putting Reaves on the market? We really need to add some intimidation to our roster. Our opponents have no fear of any consequences for taking liberties against us.
We have the cap space for him, and I doubt we would have to give them all that much.
