There are two prominent storylines when it comes to Montreal Canadiens defenceman Victor Mete. The first is whether he is the right guy to play beside Shea Weber. The second is the fact that he has yet to score a goal in the National Hockey League.
In a lot of ways, the two storylines intersect. Mete’s offensive numbers don’t appear to be what you would want from a player in the top four. People often miscast Mete as an offensive defenceman who cannot score. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. Players can generate offence in a lot of ways and Mete is part of a breed of player who are redefining what we should expect from offensive defencemen.
