Atlantic Division team interested in Sharks sniper Timo Meier

In recent weeks, the odds that Timo Meier will be traded by the San Jose Sharks have gone up, especially given the news that there have been no contract talks between the two sides.

During Tuesday's edition of 'Insider Trading' on TSN, Pierre LeBrun mentioned that among the teams that are interested in Timo Meier are the Buffalo Sabres, who have been in contact with the Sharks.

Meier, 26, is having a solid year for the San Jose Sharks and that should help them maximize the return in a potential deal before the NHL's trade deadline on March 3rd.

In 49 games this season, the Herisau (Switzerland) native has 48 points (28 goals, 20 assists), 21 penalty minutes and is a minus-13. Meier is set to become a restricted free agent this summer and has a qualifying offer of $10 million. It's likely that a team that acquires Meier will work out an extension for less than what his qualifying offer is worth.
