It seems like an eon ago when, in 2017, a young Victor Mete shocked observers by not only making the Montreal Canadiens opening-night roster, but starting the season encamped next to Shea Weber on the top pairing.
Since then, Mete’s road has seen many ups and downs. The defender has been up and down the Canadiens lineup, even seeing a spell in Laval in 2018-19. There was a point where his 127-game goal-scoring drought threatened to drown out all of the other positives to Mete’s game, but fortunately, that narrative is now forever relegated to history.
