Devils' Dawson Mercer: Picks up helper Friday
Dawson Mercer generated an assist in Friday's 4-1 win over the Sabres in Prague.Mercer was an unsigned restricted free agent until early in training camp. That always carries some risk, but it's encouraging that Mercer began the year with a helper while filling a second-line role in the season opener. He had a down year with 33 points, 134 shots on net and a minus-26 rating in 2023-24, but the 22-year-old has also displayed fantastic durability by not missing a game in his career to date. If he can keep his top-six spot, Mercer has excellent bounce-back potential.

Devils' Dawson Mercer: Snags three-year deal
Dawson Mercer agreed to terms on a three-year, $12 million contract with New Jersey on Friday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.Mercer is coming off back-to-back 20 goals seasons but also posted the lowest point total (33) of his three-year NHL career, which likely played a role in this deal taking so long to finalize. With the 22-year-old now under contract, he should get onto the ice with his teammates soon -- though he may not suit up in Sunday's preseason opener against the Islanders. Still, Mercer figures to be in the mix for both a top-six and power-play role this year and could challenge for the 30-goal threshold.

Devils' Dawson Mercer: Slumps in year three
Dawson Mercer finished the 2023-24 season with 20 goals and 33 points in 82 games.Mercer's sophomore slump came a year late, as he finished with the lowest point total of his three-year career. The 2020 first-round draft pick also had a career-worst minus-26 rating, and he posted his lowest shot total (134) despite seeing a career high in average ice time (17:13). On the bright side, Mercer still hasn't missed a game in his NHL career, and he'll be a bounce-back candidate next season after posting point totals of 42 and 56 in his first two campaigns. Mercer will be a restricted free agent this offseason after the expiration of his entry-level contract.
