Prospect Info: Filip Mesar

[Estimated_Prophet]

I get what you're saying, but I actually thought he had more puck time as a winger because he was a lot more involved in puck battles and didn't hang back.

Centers usually have the puck more than wingers....this is a universal truth supported by analytics. Playing center requires more of a 360 degree mapping of the ice and puts the puck carrier in more positions to excercise their vision and risk management skills. Playing the wing is far more linear and provides less of a challenge to a young player looking to improve their decision making .

I wouldn't use these silly scrimmages as an example of anything. Tiny sample size not withstanding these were hardly structured/organized matches that in any way would accurately reflect a players ability to affect a real game.

Mesar, Beck, Roy and Heineman are my favorite forward prospects right now.

I think Heineman will be sneaky good. Big, great skater and can shoot. Those are some great tools to have

Add Farrell, Slaf, and Dach to the list and you have the rest of the best prospects in a future top 9 depth chart along with Suzuki and Caufield.

2 months ago i told you to watch his games, you were arguing with me that he was going to play as a winger when i was telling you the habs org wanted him to be a center. I also went on a leap to tell you that he was NHL ready! Guess what, he was one of the 2 best forwards during the rookie camp and he's now impressing people during the habs big camp, habs are trying him next to 2 top 6 forwards of the team.

I hope you've learned your lesson (MOD)

As for the kid, Mesar, wow he is playing very well, as for NHL ready, let's wait and see on that......my crystal ball is not as clear as yours...
Stay tuned...

I hope you've learned your lesson and before you talk through your ass hole next time JUST do your due diligence, you dont need to go full on stupid and call people stuff just because you want to disagree with them.

To be fair, he never claimed that he was a full out prophet, just a rough on the edges, approximate facsimile who randomly projectile defecates for sport and pure self-amusement.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Muted the Slaf thread because it's a show so I'm dropping this here;

 

[Bombshell11]

You are doing the same, you just called a poster full on stupid? Why? It gets you no where on this forum.

Has nothing to do with crystal ball, i just saw the games he played against men right after we drafted him.

People who were arguing against me dint see shit and took him being drafted later for face value.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Great pick by Habs right there. Big fan of his game, he can be a special player in next level, high offensive potential, that's for sure.

With the new development staff, i'm 100% confident that this guy is going to be a good player at NHL.

Mesar: "I think I have good speed, Im as fast as those guys, but they are possibly stronger than me, maybe that in 2 years from now I'll be more ready for the NHL."

@Bombshell11 You can now tone down a bit about Mesar. Very good potential, will be good, but not there yet.

Mesar is not NHL ready today

 

[Skip Bayless]

He's gonna make it.

The skill and the mental make up seem to be there.

Nice self-awareness.

Boy Wonder!!!

 

[Bombshell11]

Mesar is not NHL ready today

He definitely is NHL ready as a role player but they want him to be a top 2 Center, he needs to develop that game, i hope they give him 4-5 NHL games before sending him down to the AHL or OHL.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

He made a pretty fair assessment of himself I think, kudos to him. Speed wise and brain wise he's where he needs to be but physically he's not quite there yet. A year or two of work in the gym and development and he'll be golden.

 

[Bombshell11]

Who was more ready Galchenyuk or Mesar now?

Mesar for me

 

[YukonCornelius 5thOA]

Unfair comparison as Galchenyuk had no brain.

I'm a big fan of Mesar, but playing well in a 3 game prospect tournament. Plus a couple of team scrimmages, does not make him NHL ready. Let's pump the brakes a little and see how well he does once the pre-season starts. If he continues to impress, then you can run around with your pom poms yelling "I told you so". In the meantime, he hasn't proven jack squat.

My due diligence lol.....I clearly explained that he had not played center for two full seasons and there is still no reason to believe that he is more likely to be a center in the NHL. He fills in for Suzuki in an inter squad scrimmage and that is the proof that you want to roll with as empirical evidence that the Habs brass want him to play center..........and you dare mention due diligence to me.

Maybe for the layman things that I find obvious are not so clear.....I'm going to talk slowly now so listen up.

It is very common for smaller, skilled players to primarily play center in their Midget and Bantam years. Some are moved to the wing in Junior and some remain at center even though many of them are not considered to be consensus center prospects in the pro game. I responded to a garbage publication that listed him as a center despite not having being scouted as such for the previous two seasons prior to the draft.

I did not say that he can't play center just that he currently is not a center. Given our current depth chart it is unlikely that HuGo envision him as a center but I have already stated that I hope they develop him as a center if he goes to Kitchener if for no other reason than to have the puck on his stick longer and to further develop his vision and hockey IQ.

Calling me stupid is hilarious and I take no offence.

You needn't reply, this was a teaching moment so please take advantage

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Who was more ready Galchenyuk or Mesar now?

Mesar for me

Galchenyuk.
He was bigger, stronger, and had just produced at a near 2ppg rate in the ohl.

 

[MakeTheGoalsLarger]

I've seen very little from him but at the moment I foresee some Tatar type of player in him. 2nd line player who doesn't wow you but is somewhat effective offensively. Makes sense?

A tater type except I think he will be faster and more tenacious

Says himself he’s 2 years in the ahl away. He needs to get stronger.

 

[NotProkofievian]

He is definitely faster than a tater.
