Do the Leafs get a lot back for a top 5 winger in the league? No.

But they get cap space to replace one player with 3 or 4 middle of the lineup players who can contribute.

Makes some sense but I think you would much rather just trade Nylander for Mercer+ then be forced to trade Marner for another defensive defensemen

The devils wouldn't even do Mercer for Nylander one for one.

Mercer is a keeper. As much as I love Marner, I think NJD are better off with Mercer and Siegenthaler over the long-term.

The only route that makes sense at this point would be to move one of our big RFAs, probably Bratt.
