Claimed off Waivers: [OTT] Victor Mete claimed off waivers by the Senators from the Canadiens

[Voight]

I wonder how many teams put in claims

Probably most of them. He's got a very low salary so if he doesn't work out and clears waivers, you dont incur a cap charge if he gets sent to the AHL

Hasn't been months though.. Mete was always proclaimed as some sort of saviour with higher expectations than he could loft.

The organization mishandled him and now watch Ottawa turn his game around with Chabot as his mentor.

I was quoting you... ''A few months ago'' lol

No.

Nobody ever claimed Mete as any sort of saviour. He was a relatively low draft pick who outperformed expectations so fans were happy with him for a while...but he puts up no points, and is physically weak - constantly outmuscled in the D zone.

There's really no "turning his game around". Mete is what he is, which is a marginal NHL defenceman.

Amazing skater, though. Possibly even an upgrade on Mike Reilly.

No brainer

Go move Ottawa. I mean that as a hockey decision. Also love the fact Habs fans watch another highly drafted young defender leave their organization for nothing.

Highly drafted? Are you in the right thread?

 

[Godzilla]

wasnt that long ago Mete was untouchable according to Bergevin and some Habs fans

Like who?

 

[smack66]

Like who?

read this thread... your GM said Price and Mete were his only untouchables 2 or 3 years ago.

Which Habs fans?

 

[Bouboumaster]

He's paid in beers and cheetos and might not be the worst d-man in Ottawa.
Nice for them

seriously. your GM said it. do I need to go through all threads to pinpoint exactly who? suffice to say in your GMs mind he went from untouchable to waiver in 3 years. quick check also shows a Domi plus Mete for Nurse, Puljarvi and a 1st. yup seems fair.

 

[HabsAddict]

Mete is serviceable....for a bottom dweller. Nobody is going to pick him up to go to playoff war.....were his size is a huge benefit, for the wrong team.

Couldn't care less for his "loss". He got replaced with table scraps in trade for better defenseman.

Enjoy him....

Bergevin may very well have said that, although he hasnt been the best judge of talent during his stint as GM, but I have no doubt he said something like this.

 

[DaPhazz]

Ha, jokes on you!

He -actually- makes the Senators -stronger-!

I bet you didn't see that coming.

Yes, and I know what that says about the Senators defence.

Damn! Sorry to hear that, that's deep

we know he says a lot of things. Sergachev is not available and I’m not shopping Subban among his doozies.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

If multiple people claimed this guy as many are suggesting, then why couldn’t Bergevin get a 2022 7th rounder for him?

 

[habamillions]

Happy for mete. He will get a chamce to play. But he is not an nhl'er. Way to small. Doesnt hit. Shot is terrible for am "offensive" d man. Skating is elite though

 

[GermanSpitfire]

He definitely shouldn’t have been in the NHL at 19

Not quite a fan, but comments from the GM from like 2 months ago.

I'm guessing it's the kind of thing to say to the media when you don't much better to replace him. But now they traded for two left wing Ds.

4th rounder. Not that high. And the guy cannot play D. Or shoot a puck. LOL !

Merrill can play RD. Romanov can play RD. Edmundson can also play RD.

That is for sure.

Who is to say Bergevin wasnt hoping he would clear?
