Yeah I have a hard time seeing Mercer too - if they were going to trade him it would have just happened as part of the Markstrom trade.
Was more just rambling that if a forward did go back the other way the guy they would want wouldn't be Kuzmenko, it would be Coleman.

Of the "more proven" guys that could move this might be the most likely.
Big cap hit (And the Sabres are struggling to draw fans and may want to shed salary).
Has not lived up to expectations and the fan base is really turning on him too.
Only thing is they already moved Mittelstadt, so not sure they'd want to move on from another center now. They are bought into having Thompson, Cozens, and McLeod as their top 9 centers for the long term I think and likely don't want to sell low on Cozens unless the owner gets involved somehow.
