Either way, he's a late 1st round pick in a very weak draft. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. I won't lose sleep if he doesn't pan out.
What I am saying is that if HuGo believe he has NHL talent they should play him where they think he will benefit the most. And if it is the AHL and there are players that are currently better but not considered NHL material he should be played ahead of them.

They are, that's why he's in the OHL lol
What I'm trying to show you guys is how unprepared he was for the AHL
Junior age, junior frame, poor season in juniors = promotion?

I never once argued Mesar deserved to play in the AHL last season.
Keep arguing with ghosts.

At this point, I almost don't care where Mesar plays. As long as he can get the proper amount of ice time to continue his development.

200 pts in his first game.. Bombshell has spammed the boards and nothing is left but smoldering ash and 'another late rising euro bust' posts.

Talking about @Natey, who will happily admit he thinks Caufield should have been in the AHL last year

To be fair, he did score 4 points in his first game last year, he was on pace for well over 200 pts after game 1. i know its just a game but i was right 1.96% of the time. ha ha..... haaa.....?
On a serious note, he just needs to figure it out, i think he's just confused
But i swear if he scores 6 points tonight and then doesn't have a 1.5 ratio the rest of the season, its on him.

The Rangers have been lighting it up this season. 4 points is not outside the realm of possibilities.

I'm pleasantly surprised he's changed his attitude and was agreeable to go back to the OHL.
I suppose he saw Slaf struggle and recognised that both he and Slaf are further than he thought.

Mesar having 2 back to back great shifts. One breakaway he missed and he's running the PP with some huge passes.
Yes, of course, he made a choice to go back to Juniors more happily because he made a value judgment about just how not ready Slafkovsky is?
I think the new coach, the offensive system based on speed and transition, Mesar's strengths, the fact his line mates from last year are thriving in this new system, line mates versus whom he can compare himself, are more appropriate reasons for the change in attitude towards returning to Juniors.
That and getting prime TOI in Juniors versus playing in the bottom-6 in Laval.

Again man, Mesar cross passes the puck to an wide open teammate ready for the one timer, teammate completely fails to hit the puck.
Poor Mesar lol

Mesar was decent tonight. Skated well for the first two periods, made a few good plays. Could have had a goal if he finished on his breakaway. A couple feeds that could have been tipped home too.
Ironically, faded a bit late but that’s when his points came. Got lucky in OT after a pretty bad shift, but his passing is great when he has space and a lane.
He’ll need time to learn the system. He over pursued the puck when Erie scored the tying goal but that will come with more practice time and video.
Plus, they played a Stan Butler team, so all trap and clogging. Really slowed down Kitchener’s pace.

On the game winning goal Mesar had his head up all the way through, never looked down one second. Very dominant playmaking abilities, in full control of his movements. Clearly belongs with the pros in that aspect but its up to him now to use his assets and score many points.
His tendency to float around can be annoying and i think it hurts the system, the coach needs to explain to him where he needs to position when he's done with the puck.
Other than that, it wasn't his best game, i expect him to become more efficient and more effective as the season advances.
a 2 PPG is not far fetched

He is 11 games behind on Jussi's system. He'll get there. In the end he was still productive. I don't expect this team to slow down it's production, so I would expect more multi point games from Mesar going forward.

He was productive but not effective.
But i think you're right with the new coach he'll have a great season.

Maybe the Habs should sign Ahokas as coach lol, maybe as an assistant
Change all the statements about Ahokas to, "11 games into his CONCEPTS," and he gets offered a job as MSL's assistant.
