With Holtz still on his ELC, I can see the Devils keeping him and moving on from Mercer. It's not like they have many options, I mean they could try and get rid of Palat but good luck with that.
With all this being said, Mercer is for sure on the table but it would take Markstrom retained plus another asset to get him.

Wonder if the flames end up offer sheeting Mercer. 4.29AAV costs a 2nd round pick. Even if the devils match it, you could structure it to get him to UFA which they may not be interested in doing
