Hotlz is cheaper now and for the foreseeable future and this would allow them to go big game hunting with the 10th if needed.

I don't see it. If the Devils were willing to part with Mercer they would have gotten Markstrom at the deadline last year. Fitz has been pretty abdamnent that Mercer is off the table.
