''Meier, 26, is a pending restricted free agent who has the potential to be unrestricted after next season. He's in the final season of a four-year, $24 million contract, but it has a twist — his salary for 2022-23 is $10 million. That means for the Sharks must either sign him to a new contract before June 25 or tender him a qualifying offer for next season at $10 million.''
