yes. he's good in tight with the puck and he likes to carry the puck into the zone with speed.

he has been bumped down to the 2nd line with Sop. But I thought he played a pretty solid game last night. He's shown a little physical game as well, have seen him throw a couple hits lately so he does seem to be trying harder this year which is great to see.
Good to know,thanks.
Hypothetically speaking,considering the site this is,would he in a year be able to replicate how CC is performing,at a fraction of the cost.

That's the answer I anticipated, good to know I still got my Babe Ruth thing going on. lol
He was drafted in the first round so I would hope he has something to his game to warrant it. Rightfully so though,no need rushing a prospect,Montreal would never do such a thing.

He has great raw talent for a late 1st rounder.
It’s all about how much better he can get. His passing is high end. He’s displaying a shot and one timer that he can get off even if the puck isn’t in the best of places.
He looks great but he’s still kind of missing something that would make me more confident in him being a sure fire top 6er.
He’s definitely getting closer and improving which is all you can ask.

One of the best things about Mesar's development this year has been his attitude.
In the past he didn't seem happy about going back to Junior. This year he's embraced it. He knows that's the best league for his development. It doesn't matter how many years it takes him to get to the NHL. As long as he gets there, and hopefully is a top 6 forward long term.

Read his article on rds , he mentions how a conversation with Hughes and gorton was the game changer .

Yup, how you look at things is biggest plus you can have in your career. In high school, my daughter use to say she can't wait to see what she can do. Won scholarships at UofT. Today she is Chemical Engineer.

it's easy to forget that they are just kids and that in addition to developing on the ice, they also need time to mature as well and some figure out what they need to do in order to find success and others don't. Hopefully he used last year as a learning experience and can build off it going forward.
Needs to add a lot of mass and strength though so he's not so easy to push off pucks and lose so many puck battles along the boards and in the corners.

I think that’s definitely the biggest weakness he has. The good thing is he doesn’t seem to shy away of battling along the boards. He’s not good at it but he’s getting his nose dirtier.
I think strength will help him be more explosive. I think that’s probably the next thing he should really work on. He’s fairly quick but you could see if he was more explosive how much better he could be.
He’s trending the right way now. I said it last year even when he was pretty meh that he was our toolsiest forward prospect and we should pray to the gods he gets back on track because he’s got very solid upside.

I think he has the explosiveness but he skews so much more to the playmaker mentality that racing to the front is not a natural instinct for him as he always seems to be searching for seams to skate/pass through. The kid has huge legs for his size but likely needs to add more core and upper body strength to stabilize himself along the wall

Mr. 2.0 PPG at it again, currently tied second for most points, first for +/- and 1st for passes
I don't like how we're under appreciating a player who's got this kind of potential
OH AND BTW... he's AHEAD of Kulich in pts
WHAT DO YOU KNOW

Ironically enough he looked plenty explosive in that CZECHIA game.
I think he’s playing harder due to Slovak pride. Might be more a mental thing then physical.

He had a good game for sure, you don't often see him finish his checks like that but he had a few. If he plays like that in Laval next year, Houle should be happier, assuming he's re-signed as HC or not of course.

Its mind boggling to me how we're analyzing the physicality of an elite playmaker. No one is talking about Bedard's physicality game.

He definitely is not explosive but his shiftiness and sudden changes of directiion sometimes can provide the illusion of him being explosive. He certainly never looks even remotely explosive when trying to catch up/keep up to players headed back towards his zone and it is plain to see that he is giving it everything that he has.

When he plays fast and uses his wheels, I like him.
When he's trying to be Joe Thornton, he looks lazy and disinterested. That game does not suit him.
His entries are much better as well. I do feel like he's progressing.
What a shhhiiiot today as well.
