This is the kid im hoping falls to the Oilers. I think hes going to be alot better than expected. 3rd line heart and soul player that can slide up to the 2nd line when needed and not hamper the team. That is what I expect from him.
this kid has seriously grown mentally and physically. he looked taller than luke hughes, who's 6'2, he got thicc as well and his face matured. he's got star written all over him, he was on pace for 98 points last year in a shortened season get hype for mercer being legit
I know the Kings won't pick him up but the way you described Dawson Mercer reminds me a bit of Trevor Lewis who was picked #17th in 2006. He's a versatile forward with great speed not as much finish as he was predicted to have but he came up in key moments in 2012 and 2014 a great guy to have around. I also heard people from Newfoundland are the nicest and most friendly in all of Canada so I think this kid will be personable too with the fan base, the staff, reporters etc. Not a deal breaker of course but an added bonus.
He played for my hometown team and he has sick hands. I was a general first aid for St John's ambulance and I was always looking for him cause he was exciting to watch.
He reminds me of Danny cleary and Ryder combined! He’ll be the heart and soul of his team, and hopefully have a scoring touch, maybe I’m biased because I’m also from nfld! Love to see kids from the rock make the show!
Sounds a lot like he could turn into a Mikael Backlund kind of guy. Maybe not super flashy but I doubt any team would say no to a guy like that. I think Backs takes a lot of shit as a 2nd C but the guy is a workhorse and if you are deep down the middle and play him as a 3rd C he would be absolutely amazing.
I doubt he falls to Colorado, but I would think we have a legit shot at Lukas Reichel. Realistically that's who I want them to get. But if Dawson fell he would be a steal!
You called it with New Jersey
Got it right. Excellent pick for us. We need center depth anyways after getting Holtz. Fitzy made the right call
Who’s here after the devils just drafted him lol
Me
Here after the 4pt 2021 juniors performance. Unfortunately it's just the Germans. But, he has my attention now.
wasn't sure if this was after or before.....hockey guy saw the future
Wore a Devils jersey while you made this video, and that's who picked him haha.
Yes he did drop to NJ, and looking like a top 6 now!
He’s becoming elite quickly
he called it
Wow you predicted he might fall to NJ. Nice!
I really enjoy this draft prospect series.Prospects and how they develop is my favorite part of hockey.
Well played on the Jersey jersey! Seems like a good player to step in as Zajac steps out and keep that same role.
I was thinking the same thing. A good two way forward who can fill any need.
Matched the Jersey!
Wow you called it Shannon
wow he really called it 👏🏽
Good prediction Shan!
You got this one right! Way to go!
I like these draft preview videos, they are very entertaining and informative 👍

Like a donskoi
He has played alot with Lavoie to .both coming up
I grew up playing with him. Kids got eyes on the back of his head. He’s gonna do great
Nailed it.
He has one attribute many successful NHL hockey players in history have had: a standout name.
Dawson will be a beast!!!

Called it
Wait a second, I've been watching this whole time not knowing you're from Newfoundland?? Will be nice to see a mercer in the show
You predicted correctly
I know the Kings won't pick him up but the way you described Dawson Mercer reminds me a bit of Trevor Lewis who was picked #17th in 2006.

Mercer will score 35 to 40 in 24/25! Devils are building for going deep in the playoffs! But we’re still stacked enough to win the division
He played for my hometown team and he has sick hands. I was a general first aid for St John's ambulance and I was always looking for him cause he was exciting to watch.
Damn Shannon! You called this one!!
Hysterical that the devs drafted him and this vid is 3 months old
Nice guess on the Devils! You had two picks in the 10-20 range but I'll still give ya credit ;)
He sounds like a guy who’s going to be solid but maybe not elite level but we’ll see
You actually called it lmao good job
He reminds me of Danny cleary and Ryder combined! He’ll be the heart and soul of his team, and hopefully have a scoring touch, maybe I’m biased because I’m also from nfld! Love to see kids from the rock make the show!
This draft is really stacked. I can't see Mercer go in the top 10. Not in this draft. Later half of the first round, I would say.
I really want Dawson to develop into a top 6 forward but we will see
We'll look at that he did fall to devils good call sir. Hope ends up being a good player for us 🙏🙏
Devils need someone that can put the puck in the net. Anymore passers and they will look like a soccer team on ice
Holtz would be the guy if he falls to the Devil's. They already have too many centers
Yes. That’s why I hope we Can get Perfetti or Holtz, if we don’t make the top3.
@@abrararifify I really hope the Devils can get Holtz too
I will admit i was wong saying the Devils should not get. This kid is crazy good and i am glad the Devils got him
Call yourself a wizard or prophet considering you're wearing the correct jersey 3 months before he was picked by the Devils. Good pick by them.
Prophetic that you're wearing a Devils jersey while discussing Mercer?
Gotta love Newfoundland
NFLD!!!!
Going to reunite him with Lavoie on the Oilers
Sounds a lot like he could turn into a Mikael Backlund kind of guy. Maybe not super flashy but I doubt any team would say no to a guy like that. I think Backs takes a lot of shit as a 2nd C but the guy is a workhorse and if you are deep down the middle and play him as a 3rd C he would be absolutely amazing.
Let's go Newfoundland!!
Man I would love the avs to get this guy
I doubt he falls to Colorado, but I would think we have a legit shot at Lukas Reichel. Realistically that's who I want them to get.
But if Dawson fell he would be a steal!
Can you do a connor zary one for me. I want to know where he might go as a blazers season ticket holder xD
I’d love one of these on Brendan Brisson
not seen as a natural scoring forward!! hahah
I think he'll be picked 15-20 maybe? Jarvis, Lundell, Zary, Sanderson probably before him
Seems like him and Jack Quinn are right around the same spot. Personally I’m taking Quinn every single time
Newfoundland’s finest
Cool
Very interesting draft this year-hmmmmm...
You were right lmao
Mercer or Askarov I’m hoping gets drafted by Chicago.
Devils: Rossi>Schneider>Jarvis
Newfies gotta stick together.
Is this the 5th Mercer brother?
Hi cats
Bust written all over this guy
tOO SMALL. tOO LIGHT ...tHIRD LINER
