We have an entire month to work on this. No need to hit the panic button.

Need to get 3 years at under 4m with Mercer. That brings us to the end of Palat’s deal. Dillon will also expire that year with Silayev coming in on an ELC. 3 years makes the most sense for both sides financially long term. Devils will have cap at that time to pay Mercer and Mercer can keep improving over the next 3 years to earn his big payday

I imagine it’s over term but “not close” isn’t what I wanna hear. Not panicked, but the dial went up a notch.
How far apart could they really be? Mercer wants 4.5aav @ 2 years and Fitz is offering a 3×3? I can’t see the numbers being further apart. No way he is asking for 5 mil right?

I was watching/tuning in on this, not really want to hear this type of update though. Hope both parties realize how good they will be when they agree.

How are we “not close” on Dawson freaking Mercer. Dude is an RFA after stepping backwards this past season, and he is not a superstar.
I can’t see Fitz straight up lowballing so… it’d be one thing to say “struggling with difference in term length” or whatever, but *”not close”*??? Really?
Don’t get me wrong because I love Dawson… but c’mon dog.
