Mesar is a good prospect but he only has 1 point in 4 games in the OHL. What's up with that?
He's too good for the Ohl. By his logic Gally is too good for the NHL that's why he's not producing.

wasnt he suppose to dominate the juniors ? 1 point in 4 games is bad specially since hes suppose to be an offensive player
1 point in 4 playoff games, he's a beast a la Joel Armia.
I see Mesar ceiling as an RHP type. Problem is you can pick these guys up in the later rounds. Small guys have to be dynamite on the score sheet if they are to make NHL impact, in order to compensate for their shortcomings.

Mesar has elite skating and hands, his playmaking skills are very good and he has improved his shot.
The results haven't been there this year as far as consistency but I think a lot of people are going to eat crow next year.
Habs drafted Mesar because he skates fast and execute at a fast pace.
They want to build a team of either big players or fast players so that they can get an edge everywhere on the ice.
Sadly, I feel like they sacrificed a lot on hockey IQ in the 1st round. I feel like they are so much confident that they can develop it better than other teams that they drafted the kind of player they wanted instead of the real best players at the moment.
We'll see, if they are right they will be a really good team in 4/5 years

I hope so, but you have to admit what is going on here in this thread is pretty amusing. Honestly he gives me that Oleg Petrov vib, does everything well but it doesn't transfer to points.
He might not make it and I do wonder if he was only picked because of Slafkovsky but he was not an off the board pick and I suspect if he was two inches taller you wouldn't have so many people here rooting for him to fail.
Disappointing season but I wouldn't call it a disaster, he's still a good prospect. One I wouldn't lose sleep over included as trade bait sure, but considering his age and the league he came from I think some people expected too much.

I hope so. But if management is going to take gambles on small players, they have to be elite on scoresheet in every league they play. Especially juniors.

And we will see what happens next season.. not everyone transitions from Europe to NA as a teenager seamlessly.

Both of Filip Mesar and Owen Beck are on OHL teams, the Kitchener Rangers and Peterborough Pete's respectively, that won their first round playoff matchups 4 wins to 0 losses.

There's not that much data available any way... most top guns stay in europe and when they make the jump its straight to the NHL or AHL or they make the NHL/AHL right away.
Mesar is actually a sort of experiment, not many from europe come to the OHL right after their draft. So the habs organisation decided to try a new thing something almost no one in the NHL does with their first rounders.
Agreed on the first part : some players need to change their default settings from passing towards shooting. Although the same can be said about Dach and I don t see nearly as much criticism about it and he is 3 years older (For the record loved the Dach pick for CHI and my main red flag was that he was forcing passes rather than shooting in Juniors already).
Disagreed on the second part, he has a good game vision, he is good on the forcheck and the backcheck. Gaucher is scoring close to a PPG, in a better team, closer to home (no adaptation) and was picked before Mesar, is he also a bust ?

No. Management has to believe they have scoring line potential factoring in their situation (ie idiot coach, bad team etc).
