Prospect Info: [2022 - 26th] Filip Mesar (OHL - Kitchener Rangers)

[Whalers Fan]

Kinda strange to go into the draft with wing as the strongest position and draft two of them. I guess they don't see upside to the D and centres in this draft.

Was wing really a strong suit for the team? Other than Caufield and Anderson, the rest of the wingers are mediocre, at best.

 

[admiralcadillac]

montreal fans already hated slovakia...now its worse than ever with slaf and mesar picked

why did Montreal fans hate Slovakia

 

[ChesterNimitz]

Kulich was a great option, agreed.. but can't complain with Mesar

Slafkovsky, Mesar, Dach and the first pick of the second round. Excellent start to the re-build.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

We certainly can't say this group is afraid.

They just put their balls on the table immediately and said, we can develop anyone.

Before the draft I said my dream was Wright, Kulich and Hutson. We had a chance. We will see how this group compares to that.

Do like the Dach trade. I liked Romanov but we have LDs out the ass and Dach is a big time talent.

Yeah, misplaced a on galore

Agreed. Wings prospects are nothing special. Defense is the strongest part of the pool, yet it could still use some touch ups.

We still need a little bit of everything. We have a lot of NHL wingers on the roster, but a lot of them we would be glad to get rid of or, at the very least, won't be around when we are competitive again.

Wanted Kulich but whatever. At least he looks like soneone who can play in the NHL one day. Good luck.

Sorry if this has been asked and answered but...

Does getting Mesar throw any doubt on Andersons long term future with the Habs?

I don't think it means anything.

Would love it. Hughes said they want Slaf in North America, whether in Montreal or Laval.

And if Mesar can come play here, we will also have him closer to follow.

Slavkofsky will play in Montreal next year and will play well. Great pick.

 

[ChesterNimitz]

Is he good?

He’s an excellent skater who will raise the team’s median speed level. As the Avalanche just proved: you can never have enough superior skaters.

Oh dear god here we go again

 

[Adam Michaels]

Oh dear god here we go again

Here we go for what?

 

[Skip Bayless]

Here we go for what?

Slaf needs 16 more years in Finland.

 

[windycity]

Nope. Now we love Slovakia more than ever.

I think our picks are part of a marketing ploy to improve the Habs brand in Slovakia

Why would it? Anderson on a third line would be great....

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Slaf needs 16 more years in Finland.

He is no KK, he is WAY stronger and a way better skater. He is going to play either in Laval or Montreal.
