Bottom Six Minutes: Filip Mesar making a strong case stay in the pros this season

For their second game of the pre-season, the Montreal Canadiens were on the road to take on the Toronto Maple Leafs. Losing 3-0, it was about as boring as a pre-season game can be, and didn’t leave a great impression on most of the Habs fans who tuned in.

But one player managed to leave a positive impression on the night, and that was Filip Mesar.

Mesar’s rights are held by the Kitchener Rangers in the OHL, which wouldn’t be a bad place for him to play hockey this season. However, the Canadiens have been non-committal about what they plan to do with him, and he has been performing at a high level throughout both camps, complicating that decision for them.
