Montreal Canadiens defence man Victor Mete was surprisingly placed on waivers yesterday afternoon.
The 22 year old left defender was taken with the 100th overall pick in the 2016 NHL Draft and has played the past four season with the Canadiens.
Though Mete played regularly as a 19 year old, he hadn’t developed much in the past four years and has fallen out of favour in Montreal.
