Expert and Fans Deliver Verdict on Filip Mesar After Rookie Showcase With Habs
This weekend, during the rookie game, the Montreal Canadiens' prospects were back in action, and a certain Filip Mesar drew a wave of criticism after a sequence that some observers deemed concerning.
Anthony Martineau, journalist for TVA Sports, did not mince his words during the game.
While describing a sequence from the Slovak, he highlighted how frustrating his decision-making can sometimes be.
"Filip Mesar has an excellent opportunity to take a shot. He's at the top of the circles. He decides to, WT** (!!!), go make a meatloaf in the corner of the rink and makes a completely missed pass to the blue line. I really want to give him a chance, but.."
I think this criticism sums up well how many fans feel.
Indeed, despite his talent, Mesar often seems unable to make the right decisions at the right time.
And unfortunately, in an organization where the prospect pool is particularly strong, those kinds of details can quickly prove costly.
Filip Mesar Among the First-Round Picks Struggling
It's worth remembering that Mesar is one of six players drafted in the first round in 2022 who still haven't played a single NHL game.
Let's just say, time is ticking.. Honestly, I think patience is starting to wear thin within the Canadiens organization.
Yes, he's still a young player, but when you compare his development to others from the 2022 class, it's hard not to have doubts.
What's clear is that Mesar must seize his chance this season.
Otherwise, he's at serious risk of joining the long list of first-round picks who never managed to establish themselves in Montreal over the past decade.
