San Jose Receives New Jersey's 2023 First-Round Pick: If the pick is a top-two selection, New Jersey will instead transfer their own 2024 first-round pick.
San Jose Receives Conditional 2024 Second-Round Pick: Should New Jersey reach the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals (and Meier plays in at least 50% of Meier's Club's Playoff games in 2023) or the 2024 Eastern Conference Finals, New Jersey will transfer its own first-round pick in 2024 NHL Draft to San Jose (top 10 protected), instead of its own second-round pick in 2024 NHL Draft. If New Jersey's first-round pick in 2024 NHL Draft is a top 10 selection, New Jersey will have the option to instead transfer its own first-round pick in 2025 NHL Draft to San Jose. Should New Jersey transfer its first-round pick in 2024 NHL Draft per the original condition (top-two above in Condition A), New Jersey will instead transfer its own first-round pick in 2025 NHL Draft should they reach the 2024 Eastern Conference Finals.

Mukhamadullin is a very good prospect.CarltonTheBear said:A Weekend at Bernier's said:Ok, honest question, did the Devils acquire Meier for less than the Lightning paid for Jeannot?
I'd take NJ's 2023 1st rounder (very strong draft), potentially NJ's 2024 1st rounder (think there's a decent chance one of those conditions get met), and Shakir Mukhamadullin over TB's 2025 1st rounder. So San Jose gets the 3 most valuable futures in the two trades, which gives them the edge there for me. Even if the conditions for NJ's second 1st rounder don't hit I still lean SJ since the 2023 1st rounder and Mukhamadullin are more valuable than a 2025 1st rounder.
Somewhat on topic, I feel like the reaction to the Meier return has been underwhelming on social media because people are saying San Jose didn't get one of New Jersey's best prospects. But I mean NJ's top prospects are pretty darn stacked/untouchable. Mukhamadullin would be a top 2 or 3 prospect on most teams.
