I haven't watched him play but based on his stats and achievements this season, he's NOT going to be a bust
36 points in 23 points. That's a higher points per game than Filip Zadina had in his draft year (Zadina was picked 6th but could have been top 3)
19 goals in 23 games. Almost a goal per game. Higher goals per game than Alexis Lafreniere had in his draft year
(Not saying Mercer is better than them, just comparing how good Mercer was playing)
Mercer also won the Guy Carbonneau Trophy for the Best Defensive forward
Mercer is gonna be a stud
