Merrill scored a goal on three shots and added a blocked shot and a plus-1 rating in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
Scouting Report
A big, smooth-skating defenseman, he has the size to play a physical shutdown game. Does not move the puck especially well, which is why he has bounced around the NHL. However, he has become a reliable stopper in terms of limiting high-danger chances, largely by playing a sound positional style. He is a left-handed defenseman but can play effectively on either side, which increases his value.
Long Range Potential: Useful defenseman.
