2025 Projections
Signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Sharks in July of 2021. Traded to the Rangers in March of 2022.
Sent to Big Apple
Merkley was traded from the Sharks to the Rangers in exchange for Anthony Bitetto on Monday.
ANALYSIS
This swap of minor-leaguers lands the Rangers a 24-year-old center for a 31-year-old defenseman. Merkley's unlikely to contribute with the big club this season, but he'll shore up the organizational depth down the middle with AHL Hartford.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2019
2015
Merkley had a goal and an assist in four games with the Devils last season, and he should earn a full-time role with the team this year. The 30th overall selection from the 2015 draft scored 18 goals and 39 points in 38 AHL games in 2017-18, but he hasn't been able to replicate that success at the AHL level since. New Jersey's right wing depth chart is wide open after Kyle Palmieri, so Merkley could get a look in the top six if he rediscovers the scoring touch from his first AHL season, but he could just as easily spend the year buried in the bottom six.
