Really depends on the length of the contract. If he keeps evolving like he is, within a year or two of the contract starting he could be a steal.4m would be alote for Mete even if I like him

i barely think Mete is an NHLer some nights, let alone a 1st pairing D. If he gets anywhere close to 4+ , i'll puke for days.
Habs are already high on him after scoring that Goal. Maybe the same deal as Girard?
7 years @ $5M per
You have a point , that's probably what his agent could ask , but Mete is not worth Girard's money .
If the Habs wants to go 7 years , i'm expecting between 3 to 3.9M/Per
That's my max dollar but we won't get someone who plays on our top pair for 7+ seasons much cheaper than that. Yes ideally he's a 2nd pair dman but that's not how he's being used, they have leverage on us there.
Alternatively we could package him for an upgrade and wait for Romanov to come over.
Ferris again?
Enjoy a summer of hearing about Mete's only comparable being Weber and there being 3 super secret offersheets for 3x9.
4m for a 3rd pair d-manLock him up long term for cheap, perfect timing. 3.5M to 4M AAV.
Everyone always so quick to just look at his point totals and make their assumptions from there. He has great speed and is a very smart player and that makes him very effective at both ends up the ice. He always creates offence and is very responsible on defence. I hope they lock him up with some term and throw a bit of money his way because he's earned itYou would need to be the best defensive D in the league to earn more than 3m with a career high of 13 points with 1 goal. I'm curious what his underlying numbers say about his defensive ability.
I won't go higher than 2.5M.
His agent will argue that he's been playing Top 4. We all know he don't belong there.
I like Mete tho. He's very good at rushing the puck.
Jesus Victor Mete is not a 3rd or 4th d-man.The think is...he does. Maybe not top pairing, but he’s surely a #3-4.
TBH, I don’t mind him on the 1st pair. Points are not coming, but he creates a lot of chances that lead to goal.
Also, he’s shadowed by Weber who I think benefits a lot more from Mete than the opposite for every time that Mete carries the puck/or when Weber gives it to him because he can’t make a good zone exit to save his life.
If someone knows hockey outside of goals & assists, you see all the little things Mete does that don’t show on the statsheet, hence why he found a spot that young on an NHL squad (& yes, even without being weak on LHD, he’d be there because he brings value outside of points & coaches love that)
If it is 7-8 years, probably something in the 5M range.
Some people have suggested 3.5 x 7, players don't do that. 3.5 would get 5 years max.
Jesus Victor Mete is not a 3rd or 4th d-man.
Can't believe some people think that , Dude would be in his chair with Cale Fleury on the third pair.
Nobody can take his top 4 lhd spot when you have Chiarot , Reilly , Kulak as replacements , all those d-mans are 6-7th.
So you'd give Mete more than 3.25m a year? thats crazy imoclearly you need to watch him more closely, his dzone decision making while being under pressure is excellent
and hes doing that vs top lines game in/game out, his offense will come eventually. you cant play in the NHL at 20 without having excellent hockey IQ, on top of that hes facing elite players.
