BTW, why you still here?

Mercer get's 17+ minutes a night. In fact he gets the exact same amount as Yegor Sharangovich. Will yegor also be leaving next year because of a lack of opportunities?
No idea where this narrative that mercer doesn't get ice time comes from
From his draft class only Stutzle, Laffy, and Raymond get more ice time as forwards. Is connor Zary, who's been given significantly less ice time and opportunity than Mercer, about to ask out?
There is no such thing as having too many Cs, and we can and have played him everywhere up and down the lineup to get value.
If we can extract full value for mercer we will. But NJD isn't going to throw away assets at the most valuable position for the least valued position just because we have 2 other top Cs
