Mercer fills a specific role in Jersey, and is doing really well at it. The thing is, he would be asked to fill a completely different role in Calgary, which is a big wild card. Personally, I rather prefer Holtz, who could come in at his natural LW/RW, and maybe be a long term RW one-two punch with Coronato.
