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 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.

Demidov is a HAB
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.
The Gr8 Dane
L'harceleur
He actually has a single translatable skill , and that's making a decent NHL level dish out of a zone entry after carrying the puck , the problem is everything else in his game is awful

So, at best, after 3 years Nicholas has accomplished nothing? How’s that any better. He can’t get Mešar, Dach, or Slaf to improve their game. Those are our three earliest acquired ‘future core’ talents.
It doesn’t bode well at all.
It’s his fault if Dach is made of glass and Slaf only shows up in the last 3 months of the season each year, you’re right bud!
