He takes 3 steps and he’s at the other end of the rink.

If Suzuki and Draisaitl can go back to the CHL in their D+1 year, so can Mesar - and Slaf.

What a waste of complete time.
Called it 4 months ago, man.....
He's too f***ing good for the OHL..... "but but but if he was that good why was he drafted late?"
But but but my aaaaa***** the nhl scouts are clowns, Mesar makes everyone look bad now. He's stuck in the OHL for 1 year??? gawd damn....
i said i was expecting 120 pts minimum from him this year, scratch that...this guy is going to hit 190 pts at least.

I dont know how he looked at Lavals camp, all reports say he did well, but I think the plan was to send him to the CHL all along. Nothing hurry, we have like 3 kids that should crack the roster next year (Heineman, Ylonen, RHP), so we had the luxury to send that kid down, dominate the CHL to boost his confidence and then possibly a full year in Laval before cracking the main. Thats at least the way Im seeing it.

He'll be fine. Remember Draisaitl and Suzuki went back to the CHL after they were drafted.
Slaf is surviving in the NHL now, not thriving like Ovechkin in his rookie year. I'm not certain just surviving in a higher league is better than obliterating a lower league. When you dominate a league if your peers you learn how to dominate a league of your peers - on an NHL sized ice surface.

Solid start, should ease the integration with his new teammates.

Different angle on the Mesar goal. His skating is so fluid that opposition players are looking like pylons:

Hughes said he’d rather see Mesar go to CHL and get a 100 points…he didn’t realize it Mesar would get that before Xmas.

Mesar is too mature for the OHL, there's a risk he's going to develop bad habits and or take it too easy. Those kids down there have nothing to show him, he's just too good. But i agree its an excellent opportunity to polish and develop new skills.
I just hope next year they guarantee him a spot on the roster because a talent like this one you can't waste it. As far as im concerned he's the real 1st OA.

He still needs 2 points to catch Beck...

Yup, as good as he's been he's only reached 66% of Beck's production tonight. Unacceptable IMO.

Our posting shall be at his Beck and call, in the interim.

Just so everyone knows, he's playing with Francesco Pinelli (LA 2nd round 2021) and Carson Rehkopf (potential 1st rounder, 2023). Pinelli has a hattrick so far.

One thing that influenced my perspective is an MMA instructor saying it was good for MMA fighters to fight lower opposition so they got to practice all kinds of different finishing skills.
Different sport, but maybe the same principle applies. He's only 18 and 5'9, I'm glad there isn't the risk of injury that goes with playing against less skilled fully grown grinder beasts in the AHL also.

I'm not concerned for him, I'm concerned for the rest of the league.

Pinelli has 3 goals and Mitchell Martin got 4 assists. It was a bounty of points for a lot of ayers, not just Mesar. This team is meant to go far this year so it's expected
You think He's going to crush the single season OHL scoring record set in '83? Outscore Kane, McDavid, Lindros, and even Corey Locke? OK then.

I told you, he was way better than Hoffman.

Slaf is not surviving, he is making a marked progression game after game, he is physically too strong, too powerful for the CHL.
