I still maintain that we should have drafted Kulich instead

I mean, you're not wrong as Kulich has done really well in the AHL while Mesar did ok in the O.

Mesar will be in the AHL, so will get to see how he does.

Just like someone who would have preferred Dumais over Rohrer.

Depends how they do at the NHL level, but right now Kulich is worth a lot more than Mesar, so Buffalo has a nice trade chip if they're looking to make a significant improvement in an area.

I'm a bit confused as to how Mesar got '3rd best motor ranking' by scores in Elite prospects when he seems to float a lot.

Is he just having trouble adjusting to the smaller ice?

It might just be that he's not all that good.

Or if you listened to the 30 min interview he gave today, you will learn that he's been training all summer and has been focusing on developing his strengh. Slaf did not come to the camp because he was also in between intense training.

We'll know better come the regular camp

He wasn't bad this year because of he wasn't strong enough, he was just bad.

I agree, but at the same time, his OHL club sucked ass and the coaching seemed to be all over the place. I'm certainly not throwing the towel, but Mesar needs to take a significant step forward for people to take him seriously as a prospect. I like his tools although they didnt shone with the Rangers.

Edit : he still managed to get close to a ppg on NA ice in his first season here and despite weird usage. There's something there, but the clock is ticking.
 
What I don't like about him is his non-competitiveness and engagement without puck. He is just floating out there.

In comparison look at other undersized wingers like Zach Benson or Adam Sykora those guys are fighting for their life every shift.

It's weird as that was part of the reason why he was drafted so high...
 
I think it was a big adjustment for Mesar last year. It was his first time in North America, so there is that culture shock. He was living with a billet family, his first exposure to NA hockey and the smaller ice surface on a full time basis. And of course, he was in Kitchener, which for a good while were one of the worst teams and then suddenly they make the playoffs and swept the #1 seed of the conference.

It will be another adjustment for him to be in the pros, much like it will be for all the young guys starting pro hockey, so we'll see how well he'll adjust once he gets into the groove.

I'm in the Laval threads and create a lot of their GDTs, so I will surely be hearing it if he busts. And if he does struggle, I can bet you people will be coming in those threads pointing it out because people who look for flaws tend to show up in those instances.

He struggled after a very good WJC, and before that all the data points were fantastic.

People here just want to extrapolate the lows of a players development as proof they are busts.

Habs Fandom is a lot like Leafs fans, everything is gloom.

I would think the best thing for the Habs to do is let Kitchener know that it didn't work out last year and they'd like to get him a change of scenery, whether Laval in the AHL or another OHL team. So, if they could work out a trade to another team.

I would like to see Mesar master the OHL before moving on to the OHL. I know he wants to play AHL. But what's the rush?
