It's very rare that we'll say that, when Kent Hughes' moves with the Habs are usually pretty solid. The general manager had a flair for picking up several youngsters, including Kirby Dach.

Where things get a little complicated is in the draft. Some decisions were strongly contested by fans, including one selection in particular.

Filip Mesar is not progressing very well, and it's hard to imagine him with the Rocket this year.

On the other hand, Czech Jiri Kulich, who was drafted two spots after Mesar, is very impressive.

"We firmly believe this: Kulich will be a very good player in the National Hockey League. If it happens early in the season, well, excellent. If it happens later this year, whatever. Our general manager Kevyn Adams and head coach Don Granato have proven they're not afraid to give youngsters chances."

The young prospect already has a head start on Mesarz as he played last campaign in the American League.

Sure, that can change and Mesar can progress very quickly in the coming year, but as of today, his selection may be Kent Hughes' biggest mistake.
