Our 50th Anniversary countdown to the season continues! With 49 days to go, we look at the Los Angeles Kings’ #49, Michael Mersch.
The Kings currently have fourteen forwards under full-time, one-way NHL contracts. This means that in order to send one of these players down to the Ontario Reign, LA would have to expose said player to waivers. Mersch is not one of these players, which immediately puts him at a disadvantage compared to Jordan Nolan, Andy Andreoff, Nick Shore, and Michael Latta.
