I like Ullmark as a target for NJ but he wouldn't fetch either of these pieces alone in a trade, to say nothing of both of them.
I mean, even for Swayman your suggested trade would be a clear overpayment by the Devils.

Theres just no world where you get Mercer for Ullmark let alone pick #10 on top of it for him.

Not even for Swayman

Troll post right?

So Ullmark will fetch only a 2nd round pick from NJ?
I’ve seen nation writers saying Chychrun and a 1st from Ottawa

Are those the only two options? A 1st and a top 6 forward or a 2nd? I didn't realize that is what everyone said.

Come on now, no one would have an issue if you asked for a 1st in 2025. The issue that you're asking for this year's 1st (top 10 pick) and a 22yr top 6 forward for Ullmark.

I'd be ok with giving up the '24 1st, but I wouldn't give up Mercer along with it.

Neither the 2024 1st or Mercer would be on the table for Ullmark.

Rental goalies don't fetch that

I don't disagree with you, but I'm just sick of NJ having subpar goaltending. Thats why I'd be willing to give up this years 1st in order go get someone like Ullmark.

Which would be a very shortsighted and stupid move.

There will be no other team offering anything close to a top 10 pick for Ullmark. Who are you bidding against that's gonna offer this?

Shortsighted and stupid? As opposed to living in denial about the Devils goaltending situation and opting for naive and stupid moves in order to fix the issue?

NJ has missed the playoffs 2 out of 3 years due to horrific goaltending, and you'd rather hold onto a lottery ticket that likely won't benefit you for at least 2-3yrs (if you're lucky), instead of using it to bring in a proven Vezina winning goalie who would immediately solve your biggest issue. Sorry, but at this stage of the Devils development I don't care about trading a top 10 pick for a proven player.

Also, the Bruins are in no obligation to trade Ullmark within the conference, and it's entirely possible a team like LA offers a strong package to bring in a guy like Ullmark especially since they can extend him.

Shortsighted and stupid yes.

"I don't care about a top 10 pick" is incredibly shortsighted.

NJD is one of the youngest teams in hockey.

What is LAK offering that requires us to offer a top 10 pick to match?

Would Ullmark immediately solve your goaltending?

Of the top 20 goalies in GSAx in 22-23, just 6 finished in the top 30 in 23-24.

If you would have bought: Sorokin, Vasy, Gustaffsson, Oettinger, Saros last offseason, you'd have been convinced goaltending was solved. And you'd have been wrong

two things i can guarantee you:
1. boston values carlo higher than zegras
2. boston would never let zegras play center in their lineup.

It will not take a 2024 top 10 pick or Dawson Mercer to get Ullmark

If Mercer were available for Ullmark and Lysell or preferably our 2025 first, I’d consider it but my assumption is he is not.
