Player Discussion Victor Mete (D) - Claimed off waivers from Montreal

[Gil Gunderson]

Fair

 

[MrInvidious]

Very happy with this - honestly, might be an unpopular opinion, I would have tried to get more term. I think Mete is going to have a strong season with us.

 

[Qward]

Yeah... now we are above buffalo

Would have liked a second year for sure.

There's certainly an interesting debate but think of it from a vaguer sense - does it make sense to give a multiyear contract to a waiver pickup after a 14 game showing with a new team?

 

[coladin]

Not my money

 

[trentmccleary]

Congrats on the re-signing. Nice to see something get done.

I always think there's good Bloodsport meme here somewhere.

 

[DJB]

1 year deal seems right. We have a bunch of young D pushing for spots so this is perfect.

 

[DrEasy]

Have we reached the cap floor now?

 

[Xspyrit]

I like Mete, his speed is an asset, he's always in movement and is responsible defensively. His zone exists are pretty good in general

He's 23, cheap and competent, nothing wrong with having him on board

Dorion did something. So now people can stop complaining at the lack of moves, right?

Yes, but most importantly, this confirms that Eugene Melnyk, current owner, governor and chairman of the National Hockey League (NHL)'s Ottawa Senators and AHL's Belleville Senators, was not joking when he said he would spend for the Fkyous! So pumped right now

Oh, I completely get it. Especially with the young D we have coming in like Sanderson, 1-year makes sense from a risk aversion standpoint. I just personally like Mete's game and potential upside enough where I'd be more willing to bet on him succeeding than not and allow us to not worry about another extension if he does have a very strong season.

Either way, happy we got him signed. I'm a believer.

 

[Boud]

Something happened

 

[Ouroboros]

Brutal overpay.

 

[playasRus]

900k per season.

Thats a cheap deal for Stanley. See no reason why Mete wouldn't be around that number.

Would've taken this deal for him instead for a lower AAV and if he does well enough we can trade him or keep him another year to insulate the kids. If he does poor, bury him.

 

[Yak]

meh..... Not part of long term plan for this team , don't get too attached.

 

[DylanSensFan]

Brutal overpay.

sarcasm right? I sure hope so.

Right?

The first domino

 

[Samboni]

Is he still an RFA?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Is he still an RFA?

Will be yup

 

[TheDebater]

Perfect signing.

If he has an amazing year, it will be easier to extend him on a longer term contract or his trade value will increase and allow us to move him for some assets if need be.

This could end up being the biggest bargain signing of the year.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Very happy he's back. With the way injuries pile up and COVID not yet behind us I think it's very smart to have depth like this. Guy can step into bigger minutes if called upon.

 

[Crosside]

Mete: It's huge when the coach has your back, and when I came in DJ told me to just play my game

 

[DrEasy]

Glad they didn't "Duclair" this guy. I was worried they might.

 

[Langdon Alger]

You mean refuse to qualify him?
