Filip Mesar's Future Still To Be Determined

Filip Mesar was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in the first round. He was cut from the training camp and assigned to the Laval Rocket. The future of the Slovakian is still to be determined. Mesars can play in an NHL club if he's deemed ready.

Mesar had an impressive training camp and has given himself a head start in proving he belongs in the AHL. He showed a unique ability to thrive against men at the centre position using some impressive speed and skill to generate offensive chances. Mesar could be recalled for a few games in case of injury. If he doesn't secure a spot on one of the first three lines with the Laval Rocket, the Montreal Canadiens may be forced to look for other options.

Filip Mesar is currently on loan to Laval Rocket. He could be assigned to the Kitchener Rangers of the OHL. If he fails to secure a meaningful role with LAVAL, he could join Kitcheners. KitchenER could also be recalled at the end of season if they fail to make the playoffs.

Filip Mesar's contract with HC Nitra expired at the end of last season. He could be loaned to a team in the Swedish Hockey League or the Finnish Liiga. If he doesn't make the Laval Rocket's roster, he could return to Europe.
