Deal around Coleman and Mercer. We know the Flames like him, and NJD is in that 'smashing their head against a brick wall' phase of trying to find playoff success.
Yeah, they have to weaponize their cap-space, but if they do...I think they do it.
SJ still makes sense for Ekblad and Marner in my eyes.

They would have to weaponize most of it if they are signing Marner to get a backend that is NHL calibre. They currently have 3 maybe 4 dmen at most that could play in the top 7 of most NHL teams. And they have basically zero dmen that can play in the top 4. If they sign Ekblad, gavrikov and trade for Rasmus they would definitely be in a playoff conversation, much short of that and I think their backend is far to inadequate to be in a playoff conversation.
