I've seen them both play alot, the floor for Pelletier is higher but Mercer 100% has the higher ceiling.
Pelletier will be a very solid third line utility forward whereas Mercer will likely end up as a second line sniper.
Mercer is a great prospect and I get it isn't much but Gaudreau is pretty much a rental at this point in time. The return that we are going to get will be similar to Taylor Hall (trade from Jersey).
I would love to add more, just think that it is less than likely that we get a huge package for him.
