We will get our young centerman sometime over the next 6 months, they probably have 2 to 3 targets, likely Mercer is one of them but who knows.
I hope heads don't explode here when some of these draft picks are sent away in a trade to acquire a known piece at the draft.

I could see this as a reason on why they would wait till summer to trade Markstrom. If he is as big as a bargaining chip like the rumours suggest, flames could hold out until they get a young centre back in deal. Maybe flames take a tiny less than the rumoured holtz deal to make sure they get that young centre.
