They are both young so I’m sure they have a lot of potential to grow into and either would be great acquisitions in a trade with the flames. Not sure if it’s likely though… Jersey really needs to go on a run soon if they want to make the playoffs.

You can never have too many players like Zary, Mercer, Holtz, etc... You never know which ones are going to be the ones to take that next step and become your future first line forwards. Plus they all look like sure things to be at least middle six players with offence and jam.
That being said, I don't see the NJD trading away great young players for rentals. Maybe in a hockey trade for a signed Hanifin though. If Hanifin makes it clear that he wants to go back to the USA, then these are the kinds of deals I see Conroy making.
