I would trade him 2 million retained for Mercer alone let alone for additional pieces.

If we were in the same situation(similar depth at forward and lacking goaltending), would everyone be so open to trading Zary for Markstom?
I understand that the Devils perceived window was supposed to start opening up this season, still feels like a really steep price to pay.

Yeah, I get it and totally agree, but I was also floored with the Lindholm return. We got an NHL player who just last year put up more points than Lindholm and could easily do it again in the remainder of this season and still has a year left before free agency, plus four other assets (two of which are decently high in a value, the 1st and Bruz)
Lindholm is not even having a good season. Probably is worst as a Flame. Plus Conroy doesn't have to trade Markstrom. Maybe we'll get to find out soon.
