There was some concern regarding where the San Jose Sharks blueline prospect was going to end up after his time in training camp. But those issues subsided after it was announced that the Peterborough Petes traded Ryan Merkley to the London Knights.
It’s uncertain as to why the Petes did not want the offensive minded blueliner back on their roster, but his speculated problems with authority might have something to do with it. Nevertheless, the 19-year-old has talent so it’s great news to hear that the kid has a home next season.
Merkley had an interesting experience at Sharks camp.
