I don't know what the deal is. This guy is good when he takes puck to net with his move. His absolute refusal to shoot the puck (even just to generate a rebound chance) is fascinating in all the wrong ways.
He even has a nice power move he sometimes uses but barely has this season..
Someone needs to shake him up and tell him to take some initiative.
If the Devs weren’t so short of playable forwards Mercer would be in the box next game.
He has been far too inconsistent, and not good enough, far too frequently the past year and we ran him out there no matter what.
I didn’t love the teams game tonight by any means, but you could pin 3 of the 6 directly on Mercer tonight and they might have pulled it out otherwise.
