Victor Mete has the potential to be a top four defender in the NHL. He will have several challenges to overcome, not the least of which is his height, and developing the strength to be able to effectively defend against the cycle and clear the crease. If he can develop those areas, he has the type of puck moving ability that teams are looking for. Mete’s style is comparable to Sami Vatanen of the Anaheim Ducks, but this is a stylistic comparison only, and not one based on talent or ability.
"After being drafted 8th overall in the 2014 OHL Draft by the Owen Sound Attack, Victor Mete refused to report and was eventually traded to the London Knights for a package of draft picks."
Uhhh, I really don't like that...
I am not really excited by a 5'10 defenseman, but can't be that bad of a pick since he was ranked #108 by Hockeyprospect.com, #84 by ISS Hockey, #54 by Future Considerations, #55 by McKeen's Hockey and #75 by TSN/McKenzie.
Some reports show him at only 5'9". Seems kind of small for defense, but one never knows.
