The Devils are fortifying their offense, getting some help for the likes of Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier ahead of the 2023 NHL trade deadline. On Sunday, a report indicated that New Jersey was on the verge of acquiring star forward Timo Meier from the Sharks in a blockbuster deal.
According to Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic, Meier is headed to the Devils, pending the official trade call and subsequent physical, in a deal that will help solidify New Jersey as a true Stanley Cup contender.
San Jose’s sharpshooting 26-year-old was one of the most sought-after players on the trade market ahead of the March 3 deadline, and the Devils secured themselves a major contributor on both ends of the ice by bringing in Meier.
