The Kuemper trade was for a 1st round pick in 2022, a conditional 4th round pick in 2023 and Connor Timmins.
That is pretty close to the Devils' offer of Holtz and a 1st.
Markstrom for Mercer is closer to Schneider for 9th overall (Bo Horvat). Schneider was a superior asset being younger with lower salary / cap hit cost.
Markstrom for Mercer straight up is fair. If Conroy will drop the demand for the 1st and Devils give up Mercer, that should be the deal.
