That too…..
It’s been widely believed/stated that the deal, whatever it was, fell through due to salary retention. How much was being retained? What was the value of that retention? Were the Flames holding firm on Mercer being included? A 2024 1st? Protected/unprorected?
If the trade was executed do the devils miss the playoffs? If they did make the playoffs, which could have certainly happened, you’re not talking about 10th overall and the point of missing out on a top pairing/top 6/son of an icon becomes even less likely.
