Mercer took over 600 faceoffs his rookie year but with only a 35 percent winning percentage. The following year he didn’t quite take 200 faceoffs in large part to the reason mentioned by Sofa but he got his winning percentage into the low 40s. Finally this year he hasn’t quite reached 250 taken and is up over 48 percent winning percentage. He reminds me of Lindholm a little bit and would like take on center duties quicker than Lindy did if we managed to trade for him. 22 yo righty with center potential checks a ton of boxes for Calgary so I understand the rumoured interest for sure.
