If Mercer is on the table then this deal gets done immediately. If it drags out then I don’t believe he’s part of the return.

That article still shows that we don't know Markstrom was ever asked to waive his NTC, if Lebrun is correct.

Correct he's been playing RW on a line with Timo Meier.

They've been rotating centers on that line after McLeod left the team. Most recently it's been Lazar.

This is also why I think the Devils should be in on Adam Henrique.

No wonder he's a minus player this season.

If they have gotten as deep in discussion that they talked had a package agreed on and discussed retention I don't think either party is worried about Markstrom waiving his NTC.

It makes no sense to me unless you are definitely flipping Kuzy.
There is a spot on the wing beside Backlund when they trade Mangiapane.
Plus I would think that based on age that Kuzmenko would be shopped at the draft.

Yeah. I think the most important part of it is that I've always felt Lebrun and Friedman are the most reliable paid reporters. And their reports sounds quite similar. Neither says Markstrom was asked to waive. Both say retention was an issue. The report(s) that Markstrom waived from Seravalli (and I believe Steinberg) conflict with that.

So, now I personally feel a little less sure about what's going on...

Does anyone have a list of potential returns, and whether or not they chose to wear Pride jerseys?

We should probably get ahead of this one this time...

If there's a trade for Markstrom alone. I'd be happy 1 for 1 for Mercer.

If it's Holtz +1st? I'd take that too and be very very happy.

With 3 1st round picks the Flames can just as easily go shopping for a center whilst keeping their own pick.

Either or, I'm happy. Just DO IT ALREADY!!! LJDJDNEDUFIFNDBSJ

Looks like he has flip flopped this year as he has a bit over 200 faceoffs taken but fair point

Seen an interesting Rumor surrounding Zegras for Kakko ++. That could be huge for everybody involved.

Where'd you see that? I still think Zegras ends up in Montreal but NYR is definitely interesting

It was an Eklund rumor. Still interesting.

I did run a quick calc on overall 2023-24 5v5 p/60 by position (exported stats from moneypuck) which confirmed it, but the skew is a lot closer then what I imagined:

Centers - 1.619 5v5 p/60
Wingers - 1.657 5v5 p/60
