And another injury issues

This team actually had Mesar ahead of Hutson.

I doubt we were alone

Mesar had no business going in the first. Hutson was a first for me.

Adam Nicholas, development guru, wherefore art thou?

He's a development coach, not a magicien.

Someone in the Rocket's broadcast pointed out the runway is getting short very quickly as far as the playing for the Habs goes. I didn't realize that Mesar was only 6 months younger than Kapanen.

He's a development coach, not a magicien.

He's not much of a development coach either if you look at the evidence.

He's been with the Habs for less than 3 years. That is a very short period of time to evaluate a development coach.

I really don't think the problem with Mesar is his development. You can usually see early on that one skill that makes a kid a future NHLer - I've yet to see that with him.

His skating, hands and playmaking are all top 6 NHLer tools. He is suffering from Ylonen-itis where he doesn't want to get into the middle enough to use those skills to his advantage. He has to become more inside driven if he wants a NHL future.

But right now all of that potential adaptation and progress is being wiped by two big injuries.
