Prospect Info: San Jose Sharks #2 Prospect

[Gecklund]

I hadn't actually realized how much Merkley had dropped in my eyes. He may not even be a top 5 prospect to me anymore. That's really disappointing considering how much I liked the pick.

I got him at 3 behind Eklund and Bordeleau.

I think this will be a make-or-break season for Merkley. If he is able to play at a very high level in the AHL and put up a bucket of points, then is likely to be an NHLer. If he struggles again, I don’t know if he’ll ever make it.

After watching most of his AHL games last season I have yet to see a guy who can make the NHL. He should plummet down this list of prospects.
