If the Flames are so bent on Mercer, add from their end.
Otherwise, in my humblest opinion, get the best assets on the table and profit from another good FA signing.
Especially if there's no retention for the next 2 seasons.
If that's Holtz and a 1st, so be it.
That's as clean a slate as you could get for a retool. A massive chunk of cap freed, a young sniper on the right side and a pick.
It's kind of bewildering why this hasn't happened yet. The benefits for both sides are so heavy.
