@mapleleafmav: 🏒🌳 THE TIMO MEIER TRADE TREE: WHO REALLY WON? In February 2023, New Jersey went all-in and acquired Timo Meier from San Jose. The Devils wanted a star to help them contend. The Sharks wanted young players and draft picks to rebuild. Three years later, San Jose's return has branched into multiple deals. Let's follow the tree. 👇 🔴 THE ORIGINAL TRADE New Jersey received: 🏒 Timo Meier and five other assets, including a fifth-round pick. 🦈 San Jose received: 🔥 Fabian Zetterlund 🔥 Shakir Mukhamadullin 🔥 Nikita Okhotiuk 🔥 A 2023 first-round pick 🔥 A conditional 2024 second-round pick 🔥 A seventh-round pick Plus Andreas Johnsson. 🌳 FOLLOW SAN JOSE'S BRANCHES ➡️ FIRST-ROUND PICK → QUENTIN MUSTY San Jose used the 2023 first-rounder (26th overall) to draft Musty. ➡️ CONDITIONAL SECOND → SAM DICKINSON The pick helped San Jose move up the 2024 draft board and select Dickinson 11th overall. ➡️ FABIAN ZETTERLUND → OTTAWA In 2025, the Sharks traded Zetterlund, Tristen Robins and a fourth-round pick for Zack Ostapchuk, Noah Gregor and a second-round pick. ➡️ SHAKIR MUKHAMADULLIN → EDMONTON In 2026, Mukhamadullin became part of a deal bringing Darnell Nurse to San Jose, with Edmonton also receiving Zachary Sharp's rights. ➡️ NIKITA OKHOTIUK → CALGARY San Jose traded Okhotiuk for a fifth-round pick. ➡️ SEVENTH-ROUND PICK → JACK THOMPSON Packaged with Anthony Duclair, the pick helped San Jose acquire Thompson and a third-round selection. One blockbuster turned into a chain of players, picks and future opportunities. 🌳 💣 WHAT ABOUT MEIER? Meier scored 40 goals before the trade. In New Jersey, his goal totals went from 28 to 26 to 24 over his first three full seasons. He's still a useful power forward, but at an $8.8-million cap hit, the Devils expected a consistent game-changing scorer. 🏆 THE VERDICT San Jose has the stronger long-term asset-value argument. The Sharks turned one star into multiple branches, while New Jersey's return largely depends on Meier's production. The prospects still have to deliver, so the final verdict isn't settled. 🔥 One trade. Multiple branches. Who won? #NHL #TimoMeier #SanJoseSharks #NewJerseyDevils #EdmontonOilers @New Jersey Devils @San Jose Sharks @NHL
