The Sharks simply cannot afford to mess this up by not getting a good return if they trade Meier instead of re-signing him long term.
Meier himself says that there have been no discussions about a contract extension this offseason.
Rookie GM Mike Grier confirmed last month that there have been no discussions with Meier on a new deal.
