Report: Devils, Hurricanes among teams interested in Sharks' Meier
The New Jersey Devils and the Carolina Hurricanes are among several teams interested in San Jose Sharks winger Timo Meier, reports TSN's Pierre LeBrun.
Meier was previously reported to be the top deadline target of the New York Rangers, but with the Blueshirts landing Vladimir Tarasenko on Thursday, they're likely out of the running for Meier.
The 26-year-old power forward has recorded 30 goals, 21 assists, 232 shots, and 109 hits in 52 games with the Sharks this season. He carries a $6-million cap hit this year and is a pending restricted free agent. His qualifying offer will be $10 million this summer, and he could walk to unrestricted free agency in 2024. With San Jose well out of the playoff picture, the team is expected to move Meier.
The Canes and Devils rank first and second, respectively, in the Metropolitan Division.
