I always wonder what his point total ceiling is with NJ.. NJ obviously have some other offensive studs on the team that put up more points than Mercer and get the prime mins on the first line and first PP group… Mercer is a good young player but seems as though he will be on that second line and 2nd PP for quite some time.That down season was a blessing in disguise. Probably saved us 3M on his cap hit. He's a much better player than he showed last year, I expect a big bounce back.

What do Devils fans think his ceiling is?? I always think he should every season be in the 50-60 point mark roughly???
Seems like a good contract for both sides
I think that was the deal to go long and get a big discount long term for the Devils.
This is the kind of player you build around...
I would have pushed for a longer deal.
