The counter, that has already been declined, was Holtz pick/prospect.

So really if NJ wants to re-visit this, all they have to do is move off the untouchable tag on Mercer. Other wise...no deal.

But again, and now that the Flames have 2 retentions on the books, it gets more complicated as to what portion, if any, the Flames cover moving foirward. If NJ does send a Toffoli or someone else out in a separate deal it looks more doable.
I think Mercer and a pick is too much. I'd be fine with just Mercer for Markstrom straight up. I'd even be willing to retain a little bit on Markstrom (20%).
