I'm a huge Mesar fan, but I can't help but think you bring on a lot of the hate here against Mesar by yourself.
He will not dominate this year. But I do believe he will have a solid year. He's not even going to have the opportunity to dominate because he's not going to be handed the keys to the city from the start. He's going to have to work hard and prove he belongs, which I think he will.
I am counting that he'll be playing top PP minutes and he'll prove his worth this way while building his all around game. Im hoping by mid December he'll be running the first line and be playing top PP minutes at the same time. He was 2 PPG player in the Juniors, he did well in the Playoffs as well as the WJC. They really have to hate him otherwise.
Well BPM sports did a survery recently amongst their "experts" and 5 out of 8 guys gave him a D grade, they had him as the worst prospect. While Renaud Lavoie gave him a B+ grade and he had him in his top 3 best prospects.
Martin McGuire 98.5 play by play guy exclusively said on radio that Mesar was one of the better players on the ice during the second pre-season game.
I think who ever is watching him play gets it. Those who don't, whine and complain and try to force feed us their baseless opinions.
As for him dominating this year... im counting that Pascal Vincent is bright enough to realise the talent of Mesar. Mesar certainly can dominate on the scoresheet and do it regularly, its all about confidence and trust.
