I value Mercer quite highly.
He is currently fourth in his entire draft class for points and third for goals. He is also defensively responsible and can play both centre and wing. I think that his value is certainly high enough to make this deal plausible.
We are getting a 22 year old who is arguably already a solid top 6 player, I don't know how much more we can expect for a 34 year old goalie, albeit a very solid/borderline elite goalie.
