I think he's playing a bit better since he scored his 1st goal. he jumps in the play more than he used to.
that being said, he is still a poor' man top pairing guy, proof is they need to play Chiarot with Weber againts better lines.

yep, pretty good player, not just a top pairing d.
top pairing d will get 40-50+ pts, or bring a physical side. Mete does neither.

He's only 21 years old. Maybe he'll keep improving?

I think they should just shoot him..

I suggested he was playing hurt, does that qualify for crow?
- pete26

No...some were pretty anti Weber early and if I'm eating it on Mete I thought I'd point out how awesome Weber is

surely! maybe he will improve enough to be categorized as a top pairing d.
as of now he doesn't.

just like kk isn't a 1C yet. do they play him top line? no. so why do it with Mete?answer: because they don't have anyone else.

I disagree it's not 1995 anymore, game is based on speed now, if you can shutdown guys with your speed and stickwork you can be on a top pair.

I choose to believe size doesn't matter. I have to hold on to hope.
