From a Devils fan's perspective, I just don't see Calgary letting go Markstrom. They were close to a playoff spot this season and will try to be buyers I think this offseason. A more realistic scenario would be going after Ullmark or Gibson, and the Devils will be able to give up far less for Ullmark since Boston will be tight for cap space and Swayman's extension coming up.
I think Mercer needs a bridge deal with the season he just had too. I like his game a lot, but he needed to score more to earn that kind of contract IMO. On the positive side, I really like the Duclair signing. He would be a great middle-six option for this team
