With just six days remaining until the NHL's trade deadline we've seen alot of big names on the moved already. However, there's still plenty of high-end talent available including San Jose Sharks forward Timo Meier.
Meier has been getting plenty of interest because he's probably the best pure goal scorer available currently. It appears that two teams are still in the running to acquire
Meier according to TSN's Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun.
Here's what Lebrun had to say on Twitter:
I believe the Sharks are down to 2 teams in the Timo Meier trade talks and my sense is those 2 teams are New Jersey and Vegas. So, still work to be done. Obviously a fluid situation, but I think that's where things are at right now.
@TSNHockey @TheAthleticNHL
Meier currently has 31 goals, and 21 assists this season and personally, I think Vegas has the edge in acquiring Meier due to the fact they got more then enough cap space to make it happen, with Mark Stone on long-term injured reserve. The Golden Knights are also desperate to fill that void left by Stone they'll likely overpay in a trade.
