I agree, I'd like to see him in the OHL.

The tricky part for the Canadiens is that we’re told Mesar has made it clear to them he doesn’t want to play in the OHL, which makes sense, especially considering Mesar has been playing professional hockey against men in Slovakia the last two years. He would probably prefer playing pro in Sweden to playing major junior hockey in Kitchener, and that’s something the Canadiens don’t want.

Playing in Kitchener would probably be best for Mesar’s development right now, but it’s not that simple a decision. As one Canadiens front-office source put it, “it is not a linear equation.”

Why the Canadiens’ decision on Filip Mesar will not solely be based on player development

Choosing to have their first-round pick play in Laval or the OHL has several layers that the Canadiens will need to delicately navigate.

Kitchener's lost a little bit of its luster from a decade ago, but it's still a good program. It would be great if he could go there.
 
I don't know, 40 points in the AHL isnt bad either for a rookie. Kid wants to make money, just make sure he plays on the top line for Laval.
