The Devils forward has not missed a game since his NHL debut, playing in 246 consecutive games

The New Jersey Devils rewarded productive young forward Dawson Mercer with a three-year, $12 million contract on Friday.

New Jersey Devils forward Dawson Mercer put pen to paper on a new contract with the team that drafted him on Thursday night.

Dawson Mercer signed a three-year, $12 million contract with the New Jersey Devils on Friday. It has an average annual value of $4 million. The 22-year-old forward, who was a restricted free agent, had been absent from Devils training camp, which opened Wednesday.

TSN’s Darren Dreger reported this morning on X that the New Jersey Devils and Dawson Mercer agreed to a new contract worth $12 million over 3 seasons. This post is a quick reaction to the news.

Restricted free agent Dawson Mercer and the New Jersey Devils reached an agreement on a three-year contract extension worth $12 million, multiple outlets reported Friday.

The forward has signed a three-year deal with the Devils worth $12 million. Until today, Mercer had been the team’s only player at training camp without a finalized contract. Mercer, who’s still only 22, has played in 246 straight games to start his career, notching 64 goals and 131 points in that span.

Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald was optimistic when he discussed the ongoing contract negotiations with forward Dawson Mercer, whom is not at training camp as an unsigned restricted free agent.

To say that the first day of training camp was intense is an understatement. New Jersey Devils head coach Sheldon Keefe had his players bag skating before they even did a single drill.
