Just saw Mercer's most unsettling prospect card from a prospect projection model, said that he's like 1/5 for making the NHL. This is rather distressing. Have any of you guys seen him play this year?

For a guy picked in the top 20 in a great draft , he should be a 2nd line projected player.

Mercer will definitely not be a bust haha. The guy (at a minimum) will be a phenomenal PKer. But to me, He will be our future 3C or 2nd line RW. The kid is a gamer.

He looked fine at world Juniors and his Q numbers are solid. You are reading into this way to much

53 points in 32 gp in D+1 season....along with CHL's version of Selke trophy.
One of Canada's best players WJC this winter.

His stock has only gone up in last year

You make it sound like drafts aren't the most random thing in the world and a player taken in the 20s has more than a 50% chance to make it into the NHL at any level at all.

Mercer never had the tool kit to be a top 6 player. He is all effort pick that would max out on the 3rd line and you would take that all day

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

I also want to note that the QMJHL does not track well analytically. Projections need to be taken with a substantial amount of salt: it's a very run-and-gun league which will 100% overshadow other contributions.
