Seamus Casey, Holtz, Mercer….. they have attractive assets.

If I’m Conroy, I use a retained Markstrom to get the better of the Devils here. Of all the teams, I believe they need the goaltending help the most to get anywhere (well maybe the Leafs but they don’t have the assets they would be willing to move). A 50% retained Markstrom has very high value.

To NJ
Markstrom (50% retained)

To CGY
Vanacek
Mercer
2025 2nd (becomes 2025 1st if they go to Cup final)

Or if the Devils don’t want to risk the pick.

Vanacek
Mercer
Casey
