Drafting a player like Demidov (and even Hage to a lesser extent) will be good for Mesar. He can now develop at his own pace with less spotlight on him as there are strong forward prospects in the system. Will be nice to see him, Beck and Florian in Laval.
Apparently, he is not coming at rookie developpement camp next week. Weird decision

He was injured (head hit) coming back from the wjc and he had a dry spell after being cleared to play (probably wasn't fully ok).Consistency seems like the issue with Mesar
Looking at last season:
First 28 games (including wjc), he had 45 pts (1.61 ppg)
Then next 22 games, he had 16 pts (0.73 ppg)
Last 10 games (playoffs), he had 16 pts (1.6 ppg)
He produced at a high rate, but hasn't been able to maintain it for a full season
