Interesting recalls. Can’t say I know much about either
I imagine Mete will be in the lineup and Belpedio will be the extra defenseman
I don’t know much about Mete but what I do know is he never got a chance to develop.
Was drafted by the Canadiens, spent one more year in the O, and then immediately made the NHL.
Yet he was never a full timer. Spent more games in the press box then on the ice.
247 NHL games spread over 6 seasons (~41 a year) and only 18 AHL game including 5 this season with us.
He’s only 25 and can still develop into an everyday guy but I can’t help but think his career was ruined by being forced to play NHL minutes at 19 without any time in the AHL.
And it’s not like he was a top ten pick forced into playing time by expectations. He was a 4th rounder that just made the team after a hot camp. Doesn’t make sense.
Oof
Makes sense, Mete has NHL experience and Andrae needs seasoning in the NHL, oftentimes he got bullied and other times he looked lost.
The talent is there, but he’s a bit further away than I thought.
Is this because Ginning and Attard need more ice time in the AHL or because they’re playing worse than Mete and Belpedio?
