Few Canadiens prospects are generating more discussion than Victor Mete right now. The explosive defender has been in the highlight reel for the all the right reasons in a high-profile playoff series against Mikhail Sergachev and Jeremiah Addison. To top it off, Mete signed an entry-level contract with the Canadiens last week.
There are plenty of reasons to be excited about Mete. For example, he finished third in goals per game played (0.30) and sixth in primary points per game (0.58) among all OHL defenders. He placed marginally above top prospect Sergachev, while also ahead of high-profile prospects like Olli Juolevi, Mitchell Vande Sompel, and Nicolas Hague.
