Value of: Dawson Mercer

[Wattsburgh]

Anyone you want from Pittsburgh. I love Mercer.

23 year old winger, 2 more years after this one at $4 million then still RFA. Can play center in a pinch, but has not been good at it at the NHL level.

Couple of notes:
- only would trade him in a package for an upgrade at forward.
- wouldn't trade him for a rental
- would not trade him simply for a draft pick(s)
- the Devils are tight against the cap

Just seeing what opposing fans peg his value at.

In my ideal scenario, I would love to package him with one of Seamus Casey or even Simon Nemec to get a young impact winger to play with Hughes and Bratt, but not sure how realistic that would be.

So essentially you're asking for a ~PPG winger that is making less than $4 mil. There's maybe 5 players that fit that bill.

After looking at the list I can name 2 wingers: Michkov and Protas (unsustainable production). Mayyyybe you add a few more names like Batherson if you consider retained salary.

meh, I just don't agree. Why do Hughes and Bratt not belong in a PK role? Bratt killed penalties as a rookie.

Why would you WANT Bratt or Hughes playing the pk?
