Great for him, not sure if there is an opening here if the import defenceman Tomas Hamara and 2nd round pick Longacre signs. I think both are a good bet to sign. Let alone if George Fegaras does sign. Being undrafted he needs to go where he can get the most icetime.Looks like Florian is following his brothers footsteps, straight to Hamilton this time though. Another undrafted X signs.

Yeah I’m not trying to say Kitchener isn’t a good option, it’s by the looks of it the best option for him. It’s a team just looking at this thread, lots of young upcoming talent that he would be surrounded by and would get lots of ice time. If I remember Adam Liska had a pretty good experience in Kitchener. Top line ice time in Kitchener and than top 6/9 ice time at the WJC for Slovakia (December for sure, and maybe august) would be a really good first year.
He will also not be playing at the WJC in august, as he said MTL wants him preparing for season. Not really that shocking.
Just read that two Swedish teams are now also choices for him to play. But I would think that Montreal will want him to start playing here where he can adapt to the smaller ice surface. We'll see.
Another point is MTL could control where he plays in Laval, while not in Kitchener. I don’t think they want to send him to Kitchener to play second line C minutes behind Pinelli. If they want him to play C that is, which he spend about 1/3 of the season playing in Poprad.
I am assuming he played RW for the other 2/3 of the season? Basically though it will boil down to the position that Montreal wants him developed at. If he were to come to Kitchener, I'm quite sure they would accommodate Montreal's wishes.
He played LW and RW for the other 2/3, Poprad had a pretty hectic season. He’s probably a winger though at the next level. I think Kitchener is still a better option than sweden. Let him adapt to NA
The Habs won’t loan Mesar to play in the SHL, doesn’t make sense for a signed top prospect if their goal is to have him play in the NHL within 2-3 years and have development direction, medical assessment access, etc. Saying ’two SHL teams’ even makes the suggestion suspect IMO.
You only get the extra first round pick if you find a trading partner I believe. If he doesn't sign and you keep him you get nothing.
I believe you just have to declare the player "defected/defective".
I found this article. There's a window before the season starts. It's possible the rule changed.
Can someone fill me in on why Oshawa had received the extra first-rounder in the 2022 draft? I believe that Calum Ritchie (2021, 1st round) reported and played. There is obviously something that I am missing.
