Prospect Info: Filip Mesar

[Rapala]

Is there a reason we are looking at his past play when nothing matters but his current play.
He has not yet found a way to be consistent or even available in Pro hockey
I'm not sure what reasoning there could possibly be to try and foist that off on someone or something else.
The players are all judged using the same standards the simple truth is the good ones find a way.

seems like it could be another wasted pick

I don't think saying wasted pick is fair. Even the best drafting teams miss on 1st rounders sometimes. It happens.

Most teams miss on late first rounders.. I think people would be surprised if they look at just how bad Tampa Bay was in the first round and most people universally acclaimed their scouting department.

My point exactly. The same posters that complain about missing picks are usually the same ones who want our scouting team to ''swing for the fences''. You just can't have it both ways. I don't think the Mesar pick was a bad one on draft day but unfortunately he hasn't developped as we hoped.

He was a great swing and he's had some highs and some lows. We aren't reliant on the dude for our rebuild to be a success, so give him his AHL time and see where he is.
