Prospect Info: Filip Mesar

And what happens if he do sweet f***k all? People are still wrong about him?

Hes playing his first AHL playoff game in round 3. Down 3-0..expecting him to do anything is a bit lofty.

Just let him simmer for two more years and see where we are. Won't be the only first round bust of that draft.

When I see someone describe Suzuki as being slow, I know I'm reading someone who unreliably watches and analyses hockey. He has long, powerful strides which makes him look slower than he is, but he's legitimately one of the fastest centers in the East. The edge stats back up the eye test.

He’s made tremendous progress in this department, but I find he still glides way too often for my liking. Wish he would push himself more and continue to push for that extra stride or two vs gliding, which he tends to do a little too often.

Im just confused as to why we never gave our selfs the luxuary to have a look of Mesar on a top pro line. Just to know what he can do?

Its like we’re afraid he might do well

Dont get it

Dude. Just admit you were wrong. It isn't a big deal, we've all been wrong before.

Ahh its you. Was I wrong with Demidov too?

They're using him as a spare plug. What do you expect him to do exactly?

Hes right…you know it. Let it go bro.

Did you watch the game ?

Did you watch the game ?

I watched most of it and didn't notice Mesar.

I liked his game. He makes things happen and is obviously working on becoming a consistent pro... I also understand why the coaches were timid about putting him in because he still has work to do on his decision making and play away from the puck. He still has some time. Let's hope he has a better year next year.

Me too, i wasn't impressed but i also saw him play a game that is not his. I can't really blame him.

I guess its either we wait next year to see the improvements or he gets traded

He needs a centre like Rossi to show his true talent. Imagine how dynamite the two of them would be? Terrorizing NHL clubs for years.

Sure looks like he will get traded to another team who is disappointed with one of their picks as we are of our pick in Mesar............that said he could run to Europe or the KHL also........
Unfortunately is doesn't look good here.

Very strange...........that draft was amazing for us, landing us Slaf, Beck and of course Hutson.......and then there was Mesar.

That’s what I thought the morning after the draft. The Habs’ selection puzzle presented a cool picture but Mesar was a piece that really didn’t appear to fit.

At one point along the trail of that draft, Mesar and Frank Nazar were ranked fairly close.

When Habs took Mesar, I recalled that and it triggered some hope. That hope began to fade with The Kitchener Experience.

As for Nazar, no comparison. Nazar looked damn good in Chicago’s late-season upset win at the Bell.

There's nothing to be disappointed about Mesar as of right now. You gotta see him on a first line in the AHL before you can pass judgement.

He got absolutely no looks on the first line this year, he was playing low minutes and a game that he was obviously not drafted for.

If next year he gets some ICE time on the first line and first PP and he doesn't produce then we can all be disappointed.

What i saw from yesterday's game was mostly positive, i saw a guy who was trying, who has studied the game without the puck but still needs work. Physically i saw some big improvements on how he used his body when he was fighting for the puck.

It looks like next year will be the big year for him.
