Victor Mete has asked for a trade from the Montreal Canadiens, his agent confirms.
Oddly, Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin calls the report untrue and says he isn’t trading Mete.
Mete has yet to crack the Montreal lineup this season, with newcomers Alexander Romanov and Joel Edmundson moving ahead of him on the depth chart at left defense. The 22-year old defenseman had 4 goals and 7 assists in 51 games last season.
