If Hughes, Nemec is off limits, then this year's first round pick has to be in play, Mercer is not going to turn this organization into a contender

Mercer is the same age as Zary the upside is there. In many cases several very solid young assets can be combined to land a superstar via trade. 34vyear old Markstrom who is having a great year returning a 22 year old center in his 3rd year and a decent pick is great.
Last summer we couldn’t give Markstrom away so lets not forget he doesn’t have a perfect resume himself
