Description

I don't think Boston is gonna want picks, as they are in win-now mode. Gonna cost a good roster player to get them thinking about moving Swayman.

I want to hear the opinions from both sides and don't be too biased. I can already see the resounding no's from both sides, but when making trades for big players you gotta lose big players, especially if both teams are contenders and don't want picks.

I think the value is close, with two pending RFA's and young studs. NJ needs goaltending and BOS needs offense after losing Bergeron and Krejci. I would really hate to lose Dawson, but its what it may take. We are stacked up top, they are stacked in net.

And to all you Devils fans complaining about all the goalie trades on here, there is a good reason people keep making them. We love Vitek, but to win WE NEED A GOALIE!

Devils fans, Bruins fans, tell me how you feel about this

Why not go for a ullmark or binnington, they are older but both are better and you proably wouldnt have to give up mercer in the process

Because binnington's contract sucks and he's a massive headcase

I think a Mercer-Swayman swap could work but id imagine Boston would need to add a little bit

I agree just based on where goalie values are in today's game

I can't imagine the Devils wanting to send Dawson Mercer just for Jeremy Swayman. Mercer is not having a good start to the season, but I can tell you now that doing a 1-for-1 is a steal for Boston. He'll be a great player. I'm not even comfortable with the idea of trading him away
