The interesting thing to me when I watch the Devils is I think going forward if I was a Devils fan I would rather keep Holtz over Mercer. Holtz is a natural winger, he has a very nice accurate shot and his motor looks non stop. Mercer has been in a slump so maybe I am judging him harshly but he looks more like a Backlund type. Holtz plays on PP2, Mercer is not used on the PP at all, he is used on the PK. Also like Backlund he doesn't look comfortable on the wing, the guy is a natural C, something the Devils don't need as badly as a guy like Holtz who projects to maybe replace Toffoli. I know he has a great year last year but from the viewings I have had Holtz looks like the more exciting player.

Retaining $7M of dead money is definitely worth a 1st. Anything else we get is if they think Markstrom is worth anything.

It just hit me. The Flames won't retain salary so they can take a run at Draisaitl after next season.

As soon as I finished throwing up I was a tiny bit delighted by the thought of him pounding one timers past Skinner in the battle of Alberta. Probably still pass though for all the negatives.

All pagnotta did was make mashed potatoes out of all the various rumours out there circulating. He’ll probably get some of it right if it comes to fruition

Even better, some teams will pay you assets to take a player like that off their hands.

Only if they’re planning to leave behind a smoking crater when they jump ship to Toronto later.

I’m guessing it ends up as,
To CGY
Mercer
Casey
2024 3rd (becomes first if NJ makes ECF)
To NJ
Markstrom (50%)
Rooney
2024 4th (NJ pick from Tofolli trade)

We are getting a 1st no matter what if we retain 50%. That has to be a non negotiable.

Not when combined with Mercer and Casey imo...
I think even that is too much.

Flames got a 3rd from Jersey in the Toffoli trade and have already used it.

30% of me thinks that there are worse players to spend money on
70% of me expects that he will sign a huge long term contract somewhere and immediately turn into a dud once he is away from mcdavid
And
I’m almost 100% certain next year is his last in Edmonton

What is one more year of the rebuild in Jersey. They have been rebuilding since 2015, it takes time to get it right.

Devils have twice as many shots though. Not watching the game but I am assuming they are the better team. Maybe this summer they can sign Phoenix Copley or one of the other UFAs and get over the top and become a perennial Stanley Cup contender.

My apologies, just seen in Capfriendly the Flames had a conditional 4th originally from NJ and didn’t read the fine print.
