NHL: Timo Meier will not play Saturday when the San Jose Sharks face the Chicago Blackhawks; He might also sit next week’s games against the Montreal Canadiens and St. Louis Blues
SAN JOSE — Timo Meier will not play Saturday when the San Jose Sharks host the Chicago Blackhawks, and it’s fair to wonder whether the 26-year-old forward has competed in his last game for the organization.
Sharks coach David Quinn said Saturday that he and general manager Mike Grier have not had a conversation yet about sitting Meier since he hasn’t been healthy enough to play. But that could change if Meier feels better. Meier, a pending restricted free agent, said Saturday he would be open to re-signing with the Sharks long-term, but that he and his agent, ex-Shark Claude Lemieux, have not had any talks about an extension with San Jose’s front office.
Even with Meier, the Sharks entered Saturday 29th out of 32 teams in the NHL standings with an 18-30-11 record. Trading Meier gives the Sharks a chance to supplement their prospect pool and add to a cadre of players who could have an impact at the NHL level within a two or three-year span.
