lol I think the $50 retention deals the deal here

I would be surprised if Mercer was make available here (even alone one-for-one)

I would be downright angry if Mercer was sent with two 1sts

I’d be calling for Fitzys head on a stake if he did this

No, not Worth A Risk

I mean would you rather keep Holtz who’s now breaking out or Mercer?

Definitely would keep Mercer

If we’re offering multiple 1st round picks we can keep both

Mercer plays C and W, plays PP and PK, plays in dirty areas, all 200 ft, is loved by teammates, coaches, has never missed a game. Those are hard to find.

Holtz probably puts up higher point totals in their primes. But always seems to be in our coaches doghouse (often without much reasoning). We have Clarke, Hämeenaho, Gritsyuk in pipeline…and Toffoli could be extended.

In a need-a-goal situation, I’d want Holtz out there. In almost all other situations, I’d want Mercer.
