alot of people are saying Merkley sucks... but the majority of people are saying SJS won the trade?? hmm.. nice pick up Mr Wison.
Problem is, like so many 1st round picks, he's a top 6 forward who is not capable of playing top six. He projects as an AHL All Star or maybe fill-in for the Sharks if the lose multiple top six forwards to injury.

Barracuda really want to go deep in the playoffs and get more fans. They have a new arena opening soon and want to pack it in. WIth Merkley, Blichfeld, Wiesblatt, Coe, Robins, Merkley, Melnichuk, Hatakka, Kniazev etc they have potential to do some damage.
