I don’t know if I agree. If they are bringing in Markstrom with no retention, it is difficult for them to sign Mercer (being an RFA) and have Toffoli back coupled with lots of holes on defense.
I am one who thinks that the change in demand for the Flames to retain on Markstrom indicates the willingness of NJ to make it Mercer instead of Holtz.
