Drafted ninth overall in 2015 by the San Jose Sharks, 23-year-old right wing Timo Meier is one of the best forwards on the team.
After having a breakout 2018-19 season in which he scored 66 points (30 goals, 36 assists), Meier was expected to produce similar, if not better numbers this season.
All three stats (points, goals, and assists) from Meier’s 2018-19 season were career-bests. Additionally, his 66 points were fourth on the team, his 30 goals were third on the team, and his 36 assists were sixth on the team.
With Meier being a restricted free agent that offseason, the Sharks signed him to a four-year, $24 million deal with an average annual value of $6 million.
