With only 23 points in 30 games, the San Jose Sharks are off to an unexpected start, and a brutal one to say the least.
Around the Sharks, notably the defenseman Erik Karlsson, rumours have been circulating. Another well-known name that can be on the trading market is Timo Meier.
Meir tallied up�76 points and 35 goals in 77 games last season and is now in the final year of his contract, which will draw organizations who don't want to make a long-term financial commitment.
If the Oilers could potentially receive Meir and a defensemen in a swap, without giving up current rostered players but high draft picks and potentially a prospect, the Oilers could be looking at an even deeper playoff run.
Meier holds�a triple win and will undoubtedly be drawing a lot of attention as rumours have now surfaced of the young forward being up for grabs. It will be a costly move, to put it mildly. It will be interesting to see what the Sharks will demand in exchange, and who'll give offers.
