Montreal Canadiens News<\/p>\n
Slovak forward Filip Mesar was voted as the 20th best Montreal Canadiens prospect by the fans, a ranking that reflects his rather difficult season in the AHL. The good news is that the 2022 first-round pick is overflowing with talent, which means it\u2019s too early to lose hope that he\u2019ll one day be able to ascend to the NHL.
