Mete's game is all about entries and exits. IIRC from his stats, defensively his strength is to not let the puck enter his D zone well, so that the other team doesn't get to position themselves before the puck is cleared or skated/passed out. It's a good strategy that leads to generally fewer goals against when he is on the ice, but I agree that once the cycle is established his utility is lowered. Still, I'll take that over old-times style Chiarot and Edmundson whose game is to try to break the cycle instead of preventing it in the first place.

In order for that to happen, he would have to upp his offensive game. For a D of his size and style, he would need to be more dynamic (Quinn, Girard, etc.) and generate more offense. I hope he is a late bloomer and find a gear nobody expected but i don't see it happen honestly. He showed promises in his first year but since then, he didn't live up the "hype".

Bergeron utilisait un long bâton, non? Ça aide pour tirer...

ils ont sûrement considérer toutes les options pour maximiser son tir...

Il venait souvent aux games des Aigles de trois-rivières voir ses amis jouer à la balle (il a jouer dans le midget AAA au baseball aussi) MAB c'était un petit tonneau vraiment pas la même musculature que Mete, il était plus sur le format de Bouillon

Mete is Raphael Diaz 2.0

Comment oublier sa passe suicide à Eller (surement pas Gryba)? J'étais à la game avec mon père, jamais il n'a été aussi silencieux à un match lol.

gotta give the guy credit though for the job he did being next to Weber basically by default, not many were expecting that

J'ai joué contre, et je joue à l'occasion avec au golf (il drive comme un gorille ~330-340). C'est vrai qu'il est dans le moule de bouillon, trapu et jambes fortes mais y'é moins coffré. Son fils domine à l'avant dans le novice

Yeah, it was unfair but he did't well. He isn't a bust, just a fringe NHLer...

Agree to disagree. He's a defensive defenseman, I don't see him as needing to provide offense to be of value.

Habs' management does though, otherwise they wouldn't have trade for Edmunson with Romanov coming in as well on the left side...

Mete?

Yes, +27.


Petry is -45

Well Chiarot is +28 if you consider his seasons in Winnipeg so the future is bright?
