Personally I wouldn't be opposed to letting Merela start in the top six for one or two games just to see if he could possibly contribute offensively.
If it got ABB going with Point and Kucherov, playing with 38/71/91 could do the same for him, though Jeannot has been just as good for us lately and worthy of 2RW.
Regardless, he's more than likely to be the one to get demoted to Syr. once Motte is off IR, but it truly wouldn't hurt to try and see if he could possibly fit that spot for us.
