Mercer makes the most sense. If the Devils want to be a contender, they need a goalie, need a veteran d man to mentor their young d and really could use a veteran 3rd line center behind the 2-star centers.
They aren't winning with 3 centers that are 22 to 25 years old. Pittsburgh did it, but Crosby is on a different level than their centers. Most teams don't win with 3 guys that young at that important of a position.
If they can land Makrstrom for Mercer and a 2nd, they could target a veteran 3rd line center to replace Mercer.
