Montreal Canadiens defenceman Victor Mete appeared on the outs with the Habs not long ago.
He has been a healthy scratch for most of the season, but the relationship really could have soured when Ben Chiarot was injured. Instead of inserting Mete, who was with the team all season, into the lineup, the team called up Xavier Ouellet and played him for a pair of games.
Mete was rumoured to be wanting out early in the season. After being leapfrogged on the depth chart by the captain the Laval Rocket, he must have been steaming.
