This far out from the draft, I would say draft position no longer really comes into play when evaluating a player's value.
Holtz hasn't really broken through yet (although he may not have had a really good opportunity under Ruff), whereas Mercer can play center and already has a 27 goal season under his belt.
It seems like the difference in value is starting to diverge significantly. I'm not going to try to guess what kind of asset we would send with Markstrom to bridge the gap though.
