Keep setting the record straight oz, that’s all we can do.
Confirmed with Link: Victor Mete Claimed by Ottawa Senators
- Thread starter Milhouse40
- Start date
Honestly, whatever he was with us or becomes with the Sens, the way we lost him was bad asset management and it's not like the guys replacing him have made this team better.

So sad that both Mete and Kulak are probably just as good or better then both guys acquired at the deadline!!
Our GM needs to be fired, ASAP!

Sadder that we lost Juulsen and Mete for nothing and then had to handcuff the team by acquiring two D’s .So sad that both Mete and Kulak are probably just as good or better then both guys acquired at the deadline!!

GM can’t be fired fast enough.
Don't cry, it's okay.
I couldn't care less of many goals he was on the ice for, looking at him play was an adventure of itself. What is Mete's strenght ? Skating, transitional play, moving the needle ? He didn't do a single thing of that in last year playoffs and he was handling the puck like a grenade (a la Scandella) yet it's supposed to be a strenght of his...
I actually watched every game and I just kept saying to myself get this guy out of the ice before his ERRORS will results in GOALS soon enough, and while it may just be one, let's be thankfull he didn't face the best lines on the other side, night in, night out.
It's pretty simple with Mete, his strenghts aren't good enough to cover his weaknesses. It's so hard for a small defenseman to play good D and he's not good enough offensively to justify him in the line up... Did the Habs messed up playing him on the bad side ? Maybe. And I wouldn't want to play with Ouellet, ever. That's all fair. But saying is he so much better than Kulak is just not true. I'm sorry. I don't know what's the point of overrating players. They're both low pairing D's.
Sad of losing him for nothing ? Absolutely. But apparently there was no market for him.
I'm not saying Kulak is a god and he is shit, but we're talking about two marginals D's. Chill out

My bigger problem with him than the bottom pairing on D is his inability and lack of interest in prioritizing high end talent, both at forward and at D.

Can we stop talking about Juulsen? The guy is probably done. Even Ekblad's long term injury didn't earn him a spot in the top6. He barely plays at all. He'll probably go to Europe (or Ottawa)

Go Habs Go
People are free to talk about Juulsen. I don't know why you think he's probably done though. He was playing with the panthers, he got hit from behind into the boards, he went on IR, then he went to the AHL on a conditioning stint, now he's back on the panthers roster. They have 9 D though so what they should do is just send him down so we can pick him off waivers and put him in Laval. Next year let him, Fleury, Brook, Leskinen, plus whoever fight it out for the 6th D, 7th D spots.
What he needs is to be on a non contender next year like Mete, just get in games and have a team that can live with the mistakes. Maybe in a year or so he'll be back to where he was.

The grass is always greener on the other side for Bergevin, he keeps aquiring useless players that are actually worse than what we already have. Reminds me of the Dwight King era. He has no plan, no vision. His time is done, he needs to go.

More or less like you said. His history of injuries would make me believe he's done. At some point you gotta decide if you really want to play hockey as a job. He still gets paid but he has rarely played in the last 3 years? I don't know many teams would line up to get him so I suggested Europe. It's probably the best for him if he still want to play

We saw something similar for Scherbak and another lame player the Habs waived (I forget his name).

Chiarot's just not suited to be a first pairing dman. He'd be adequate on the third pair.

Is always amazing how our fans hate certain players when they were here because they were trash and love them once they join another team. Comical really

Was not a fan, still not a fan. But that does not mean the trash Bergevin acquired at the trade deadline is better....

What?!
What on earth is the purpose of playing hockey, if not to outscore the opposition?
Mete is just another former player now... And yet another addition to the asset management & roster screw ups of the MB tenure.
