I like it.

Only gripe - Mercer ought to get a 2/3-year bridge or a long-term deal. A four-year contract walks him straight to UFA.

I originally wanted a 6 x $4.5m or so but couldn’t fit that in with the Amadio and Trenin signings, so I opted for shorter term. I thought 4 would take him to his final year of RFA, with the plan being either sign him long-term or trade him in his final year. So for this attempt, a 2-3 year bridge deal would work the best.
