Hahahahahahahahahaha!

You should look at Mercer's 21-year-old season and compare it to Nylander's at the same age. Nylander has more assists, Mercer has more goals, and Mercer can play center. Mercer is cost controlled (and will likely cost in the $6M-$7M range through his prime), while Nylander is going to cost 10M and is about to exit prime scoring years for forwards. And you think NJ would make this trade one for one?

lol

Answer: no. The Devils cannot afford Nylander.

Are you going to turn injuries and suspensions off?

so 3 mill surplus this year, 1 mill surplus after that if he signs for 9m.

Mercer will easily provide more surplus value during his RFA years

Debatable

Mercer has to provide 4 mill in value to be more valuable than Nylander this year. They could then bridge him for dirt cheap if they wanted
