He’ll be an upcoming UFA on the wrong side of 30 for the majority of the season, his agent and Fitz have made no progress on contract talks and the Devils core is nearly a decade younger than he is.

i don’t want you to gtfo, i want that trash take of “just because this one hockey writer doesn’t love him i’m going to say he’s at best a third liner” out.

because it’s trash.

Someone has to score goals. Holtz and Foote won’t be ready for a while. Trading Palms makes no sense to me.

I think teams submitted to the nhl who was on their first round draft board and the nhl sent jerseys to those guys.

the reactions are way too genuine for that i think. 

Fair enough, I'm just confused as hell as a late pick is almost the only one with a jersey.

I'm not thrilled... Holtz was the last on my list of players we could get...

And as im trying to find positives... i remember hearing all those same positives about Reid Boucher

Plus when i see Rossi play i see a lot of similarities to Barzal... So that's PTSD #2.

God. Dammnit. I hope i'm wrong

As for Mercer. That i'm excited cause i saw him play here in Moncton when they had the QMJHL vs Russia. And he actually played really well. I HONESTLY thought he had a better game than Lafreniere who i was honestly not impressed all that much at that game. (but ive been impressed any other time ive seen him play)

i found highlights of the game i was at. Mercer is #17 (edit, honestly im not trying to be biased saying Mercer was better than lafreniere but just watch the highlights lol Mercer is brought up countless times and lafreniere is barely visible. Mercer also had 2 goals and 1 assist the previous game and got player of the game

Edit: Also i hate those Devils hats.

At least we had 2 other picks. I’d be pretty furious is that was our only 1st rounder.

What is also a bit discouraging is if we were gonna make a big move to get immediate help with good young players... one of our first round picks would have likely been needed...

That's not to say Fitz didn't try though

Now our next fit is only in round 3...

The more I’m reading about Mercer the more I’m coming around on that pick. @MB3 might have been right about my bad take...

I can admit when I’m wrong. But posting live durning a draft is a bit like a GDT a lot of stupid sh!t gets said so I don’t feel too bad. Lol
