Given they are in win now mode, I could see the Devils being very interested in the package if the Flames were to retain some decent dollars.
Markstrom, Coleman, 2024 28 OA pick (maybe the Flames trade a 2024 second to move this up to 20-22 and make it more attractive as a sweetener)
for
Mercer
2024 10 OA
It doesn't seem like this is too crazy to me and would really give the Flames a huge leg up in the "rebuild" while also giving the Devils a roster capable of reaching another level next year.

The Devils forward depth is a concern, I just don't see what they have if Mercer is in the trade. It leaves a huge hole on that team, and all this does is makes them older and hurts their cap.
