3 assists for Mesar in game 1 Rangers win 6-3

 

[HankyZetts]

Good take, how does his game look this year? I haven't watched him play all year just stat watching

I have only been watching extended game highlights of him in the OHL, but from what I've seen he looks solid. Making a lot of plays that don't end up on the stat sheet. As for the WJCs, I must admit I was very impressed with how dominant he was in all phases. I really like that style of player. Tons of skill and pace, but the beauty is in the subtle plays.

He seems like a guy who would benefit greatly from St Louis' tutelage, as long as he shows he deserves that privilege

Mr.Threessar at it again

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Mesar with a ridiculous pass to Rehkopf to open the score.

He very well could bust but people throwing the towel on him this fast could be getting served the Slaf crow dish again.

I wonder if anyone like @Tim Wallach or whomever else had eyes on him post head injury when his production slipped.

There is always 1 scapegoat among our prospects group, Mesar swapped position a couple of weeks ago, he is now centering Kitchener 2nd line and playing with Salé who is on the soft side, the chimestry hasnt been quite there yet.

I expect Mesar to have a big playoffs.

He mentioned this year he didn't want to slump coming back from the WJC, he got hurt and slumped. I think he needed the mental reset of the playoffs. Mental and consistency is the hurdle because Mesar is very very talented.

We will see, he sure needs big playoffs since the last couple of weeks have been underwhelming.

For me, he is trade bait to package with the Winnipeg first yo move up or get a young player already in the nhl that a team may have quit on.

Personally Im not giving up on Mesar yet and since we have more depth on D, I would use Barron or Harris to move up.

Zegras.

2 more assists today Mesar was named the 2nd star in a home loss. Series tied 1-1.

The haircut is a team bonding team dw

Barron might still have some value (late first/second equivalent see nils lundqvist trade. Harris is probably 3rd rounder equivalent. It all depends how big of a fish we are trading for

 

[WeThreeKings]

Zegras.

No

Hope Mesar has good playoff.

Mentally soft players dont usually pan out.

Mentally soft players dont usually pan out.

We don't know if he's mentally soft or just a young kid trying to get over challenges early in his career.

I'd say his performances in big games suggests he's not soft in big moments.

Writing off a very talented player like him early is silly.

He's got the skating, skill, and vision. Needs to get physically stronger and mature in the pro game. There is some potential with this kid but we need to see a full AHL season first.

 

[Tim Wallach]

He very well could bust but people throwing the towel on him this fast could be getting served the Slaf crow dish again.

I wonder if anyone like @Tim Wallach or whomever else had eyes on him post head injury when his production slipped.

From my viewings, I don't think it was too much to do with the head injury. I think the addition of Sale and the subtraction of a big body puck retriever from his line hurt a lot. Suddenly he was doing the main puck retrieval role, which isn't his strong suit. With Martin and Swick out, he still is as Sale and Misaljevic aren't puck retrievers.

The positive is that he is the play driver on that line. He has the puck a lot and is always looking to make creative plays. If you find the ideal combo for him, with a puck retriever and a trigger man, he's effective. Right now, the guys he's with just aren't working consistently to present options.

Having said that, he also needs to cut down on the low percentage plays and keep his feet pumping to escape contact. But I'm not giving up on him yet with his creativity and vision. I'd like to see him use his straight line speed more as he peels almost instinctively and the right combination of linemates will be critical for him.

 

[Tyson]

Barely 20.
Giving up on Mesar at this point would be a tad too early. 6 assists in 2 playoff games.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

After 2 games, Beck/Mesar tied for 1st in playoff points with 6.

How can any one be this pessimistic, specially today when he's avg 3 PPG

 

[Bombshell11]

Don't worry Mesar, you'll get your chance, just go out there, score 5 PPG every night and maybe, MAYBE, we'll think about you for an AHL tryout.
We just need you to play a little bit more like Todd Bertuzzi
Yeah we need you to be a bit more like George Laraque
If you can mimic Lucic's style of play it would be awesome
Btw have you ever boxed before?

 

[Scintillating10]

When he gets hot, he gets hot

Well because he had a rather pedestrian end to the regular season. He’s 5’10 and 170lbs and doesn’t provide much defensively. So he better show a lot more offensively for us to think he’ll have an impact in the NHL. His PPG in the CHL didn’t really improve much from last year. To classify it as anything other than disappointing would be a mistake.
