Quoting: Schuyler
What is that even supposed to mean? They got traded because they didn't have spots for either of them and deserved a chance to succeed somewhere else. also Huberdeau and Weegar for tkachuk lol enjoy being middling for 10 years
It's simple. Other than Zacha and Sharangovich being bigger and faster and Mercer being a right shot they're all part of a succession of similar players in NJ.
Zacha 0.52 PPG was the Devils leading scorer
Sharangovich 0.54 PPG on a slightly improved team never the leading scorer
Mercer 0.56 PPG on a much improved team never the leading scorer
0.50 PPG give or take 0.05 either way is pretty much exactly what is expected from a good middle 6 forward.
All 3 keep bouncing around the lineup in NJ from wing to center, bottom 6 to top 6 back and forth. The simple fact is none of them will be replacing Hischier or Hughes anytime soon. The first two have already been traded, Mercer is next. He's RFA now and NJ won't be able to afford to keep him much longer either.
I could take childish cheap shots at you or your team too but I won't stoop to your level.
