The New Jersey Devils are a young, promising team that’s already exceeding expectations. One of their talented, deep group of prospects, Dawson Mercer, has been garnering his fair share of attention lately.
Mercer was taken by the Devils with the 18th overall pick in the 2020 draft, their second first-round selection. He’s been praised for his ability to play as a center and right winger as well as his versatile skill set.
Craig Button of TSN made an appearance on the 7-Eleven Junior Hockey Magazine Podcast to discuss Mercer’s future.
Mercer gained a great deal of attention as a member of Team Canada during the World Juniors, where he was one of the incredibly skilled and talented team’s most impressive players.
