Sharks send high-scoring winger Meier to Devils

-

The New Jersey Devils acquired Timo Meier from the San Jose Sharks in a blockbuste­r trade Sunday in advance of the NHL trade deadline.

New Jersey sent a 2023 firstround pick, a conditiona­l 2024 first-rounder, forward Andreas Johnsson and prospects Shakir Mukhamadul­lin, Fabian Zetterlund and Nikita Okhotiuk. In return, the Devils get Meier, defenseman Scott Harrington and prospects Timur Ibragimov, Santeri Hatakka and Zach Emond to finish a complicate­d deal.

Meier is under team control for at least the next year. He's a pending restricted free agent with a $10 million qualifying offer for the 2023-24 season, and Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald expects to be able to sign Meier long term.
