Who honestly had Victor Mete making the Montreal Canadiens this season? They drafted him last year in the fourth round, and now he has his own stall in the locker room. There’s no way around it, it’s incredible.
From the looks of it the Habs will stick to what they did in the preseason and play the 19-year-old with Shea Weber on the top pair. That’s going to be a pretty big test for him. He’ll be playing against the other team’s best players or their shutdown lines. It’s safe to say that all eyes will be on him for those first set of games, maybe even more than Jonathan Drouin.
