OHL: Filip Mesar contributes to Kitchener’s offensive festival! https://t.co/EHo2qrAUPb

![OHL: Filip Mesar has already surpassed his point total from last season](https://cdn.buminteractif.com/2024/03/Photo-Filip-Mesar-Rangers-661x450.jpg)
He quickly became a crowd favorite, and one of the most important players in the team’s success.
Unfortunately, due to the Habs’ setbacks during the 2021-2022 season, Tyler Toffoli was traded by the new management, and therefore by Kent Hughes, some time before the trade deadline.
Even though Toffoli still had two and a half seasons left on his contract, the Habs’ new general manager opted to trade number 73, which displeased many fans, including me.
In short, Kent Hughes had better get a good return for the forward in a trade, and that’s what we’re still wondering to this day, whether he made a good deal.
Whether he’ll ever establish himself as a good NHL player remains to be seen.
In fact, he picked up three points, including a goal, last night in the Kitchener Rangers’ 9-2 win over the Owen Sound Attack.
That’s a big improvement in terms of production for the Habs prospect, but is it enough?
Filip Mesar’s season splits,
1st half – 20-13-19-32
2nd half – 20-5-12-17

With last night’s game, Mesar reached 20 points in 21 games for his second half of the season.
In short, there’s no need to worry that Mesar won’t be as dominant as he’d like in the OHL, because he’s only 20 years old, and he could very well have an excellent season in the AHL as early as next season.
And let’s not forget that it’s not just the points that count, and that despite everything, Mesar plays good hockey and seems to have adapted very well to North American ice.
Last 2 weeks Filip Mesar has looked dominant. His game is really starting to come together. Starting to look more comfortable and confident on North American ice. Skating and decision making with the puck has become closer to elite as well.

In short, he’s a prospect to keep an eye on, because if he doesn’t become a good Habs player, the Tyler Toffoli deal will clearly have been a failure.
In a gust
– Not to be missed today.
