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.

Perhaps short term, but long term this draft just ramped up the pressure on him...

Adding 4 fwds (3 C's) with top 9 potential in Demidov, Hage, Sawyer & Koivu just made the road to permanent Habs top 9 spot that much tougher.

Mesar had a skill edge when looking at Farrell, Heineman, Beck, Kapanen, Rohrer, Kidney etc. as the competition... that's not so much the case with the new picks

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

Apparently, he is not coming at rookie developpement camp next week. Weird decision

None of the 22s are. It's a short camp only 3 days (2-5). There's no point taking these players away from training in their home country for 3 freaking days.

It's just an introduction for new players. Get them meeting the organization people, development team etc, get them on a plan and look at invitees who were not drafted.

Hope he surprises us this year. Cannot wait to see what he does with AHL talent. This will be the biggest year of his life assuming he actually gets decent ice time.
