Maybe not if that young player is an integral part of your core.
But New Jersey has better young guys ahead of that young guy. Mercer won't hamper a cup bid if they upgrade their goaltending.
But not upgrading their goaltending will hamper (nay, crater) any cup bid.
This logic seems easy to follow, surprised it's so hard for some..
