The Devils organization is one of the most chock-full talent pools in the league.
They have Hughes and Hischier down the middle locking up their top 2C positions and Mercer has pretty much been pushed to the wing playing in the bottom half of their roster.
They would be dealing from a position of strength and can afford this move. And if we're honest, getting the goals against down is going to do a lot more good than shedding Mercer is going to hurt them.
That is, if they have aspirations for playoffs.
