Wouldn't the choice be to expose Mete or Fleury?

I feel that's a tough call to make.

i think Fleury has more potential to be an impactful defender.
- DoubleDown


I agree.

I feel he's a pretty complete defenseman... good speed, physical, big enough not to get pushed around and I don't think his shot can be any worse than Mete's.

Save the $$$ if he's taken and a worse player if someone else is.

Mete will be gone in the next 2 years IMO

Yes, let's get rid of our best defenseman so we can have 20M of cap space available instead of just 13M.

Maybe we can sign a UFA with the money, Bergevin is so good with UFAs!

i haven't seen much to convince me about Mete. he has a miserable time defending his zone and probably always will. which is not the end of the world if he excels at transition.... which he doesn't. not yet at least. he can carry the puck through the neutral zone. that's his strongest point i would say.

Mete wasn't a C at all...how about a B-...so tired of the crap that's thrown his way.....give me a break....kid has gotten better each season....expose Mete to draft over Kulak?...That's a joke right?....April Fools.
- Hockey Pucker

IMP he is a 5/6/7 defenceman ... he is a very good skater but an average passer, with a below average shot, no physical presence and at his very best average defensively ... the hockey equivalent of a utility infielder in baseball ... can be very useful but never a difference-maker.

I'm less impressed by Drouin...a turd trade....and by Domi who is a hot head and who is in a contract extension discussion....I'm not impressed with the development of recent draft picks. I'm not impressed with MB.....Mete has been a surprise....still more there...I hope we get to see it in Montreal and not in Seattle...

- Hockey Pucker

Since the discussion is defence Drouin, Domi and MB are not relevent.

Keeping Weber so we can fall short for the playoffs again is pointless, and while we don't need the cap space now, who knows how we will be in the summer of 2023-2024, when we still have his salary for 3 years?

I think she should be Price's backup.

I prefer to compare him to a limited full back in soccer...good at carrying to the other zone, but doesn't necessarily do much once it gets there, and on defense has his main utility outside the box/slot.
