He played great our local boy Sop got a hattrick along with Rehkopf. Coach fired in the morning. Lots of story lines to comment on. He was flying out there last night. The whole team had a swagger we haven't seen since the 19/20 season. Obviously that line will stay together tonight. Hopefully they keep on rolling.

 

[RationalExpectations]

Of course he is, always been, even at 13 years old.

But you watch mesar and think he looks like bedard so… i will let you keep dreaming.

13 years old does not count. It is impossible to compare a Slaf with a Mesar in Junior. Size makes it super easy for Slaf to dominate in his age class. Slaf also has a better shot than Mesar, but Mesar playmaking and IQ are superior. I would also Say that Slaf was better than Mesar defensively (I have not seen Mesar play this year)
I don't think Mesar is Bedard but the gap with Slaf is not as Big as you think.

You've lost the script

 

[Yasuo]

you think Slaf is better than Mesar?

Mesar has sucked all year and is barely ppg in the ohl after a few good games. Slaf would have destroyed the ohl if he played there this year.

Nice Bait

He now has 34 pts in 32 games BTW

Perhaps Slaf would have done better in the OHL, who knows... however its one thing to dominate out of physicality and another through skill and speed. Mesar has proven he can translate his game in the NHL againts men. So your take is bs. Slaf we have the proof the game is too fast for him.

Mesar is 2,3 levels ahead of Slaf in terms of hockey.

Mesar flying last night!!

His playing style reminds me most of .... Sergei Samsonov. Hopefully he can be more successful with us than Samsonov was...

Mesar hasn't sucked, your opinion on the other hand......

 

[dinodebino]

After seeing Ottawa being mauled by Gatineau twice, and Ottawa supposedly a top Ontario team, methinks the OHL is overrated this year. Again.

Mesar hasn’t proven anything in the NHL, he never played an NHL game.

 

[Kennedys]

I think Mesar ceiling is probably 40-45pts in the NHL. That's not bad if he reach it.

His ceiling is higher than that but he has a long journey ahead to become the best Mesar possible.

I hope you're right about is ceiling being higher

 

[Kojo]

He can skate like the wind but a slight breeze can disrupt his whole game. He's going to learn through adversity and in a couple of years he could be a legit top prospect.

I'll come back in a few years to tell you if you're a genius or if you misled me !

I'm not even sure if I believe it myself either, but it's nice to be optimistic.

 

[Bombshell11]

he's hands down the most offensively productive player of the rangers, he gets 3-4 opportunities to his teammates every night and another 2-3 for himself. He does this consistently against any team. He did it yesterday and against London.

When you look at their games there's always one player that shines that does something exciting and its Mesar. He easily can become a 90 pts producer in the NHL, but for that he needs to develop his shot and a bit of strength, everything else he's more than ready for.

the only people who are under-evaluating him are the ones who don't watch him.

Mesar hasn’t proven anything in the NHL, he never played an NHL game.

hello? he played pre-season games... he was better than Slaf in those few games.

you don't know what you're talking about and your takes are baseless, its pathetic

 

[70Stang]

Real good discussion, way to early however the toolbox it there. Lets see how the Habs develop him and how bad he really wants it. As for Slaf as much as I like him he needs to play more pissed off controlled hockey. I saw that a couple of times and he was actually engaged in the game. He gets a pass for this year but Cooley is looking like the best piece from last years draft currently. Time will tell on all these guys. For all we know it could be a ongoing 5+ year rebuild. Its been 30 years since they had any top 10 elite talent. Once upon a time we owned the top 10. Long road ahead to be a legit cup contender year after year. Will players take the team approach like Boston and take a few less $$ in pursuit of the cup? I'm not so sure about that. Look at Gallagher the so called captain of the future etc who wanted to break the bank, 6.5M for him is so stupid. I really hope the entire culture of this team is changing for the better. It sure feels like it is however that means shit until we see the product on the ice. Lots of heavy lifting left for all the prospects and management. Lots of changes coming.

Caufield’s contract will be telling to know where we’re heading

Pre-season games are not real NHL games.

Hahahaha, you’re trolling @Bombshell11 ! I love it!

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

I presume those games don't count in the standings so it's hard to know if Ottawa really tried.

 

[Kennedys]

Hahahaha, you’re trolling @Bombshell11 ! I love it!

To be honest, i think Bombshell11 is trolling himself most of the time.

I'm starting to buy what you're selling. His penalty shot goal was fun to watch. You can tell how fast he processes things and he's got the hands to keep up with his brain.
