Merkley has a boatload of offensive prowess but has yet to translate it to the NHL. In his 39 career games, he only has one goal and six points.
A year with Kunlun could do wonders for Merkley's career as it could prove him as a valuable NHL asset. Merkley will join the best Chinese professional hockey team in the world in hopes of helping them make the playoffs.
