Montreal Canadiens defenceman Victor Mete has asked for a trade, according to TSN's Salim Valji.

Per LeBrun, Habs general manager Marc Bergevin responded to the Mete trade request via text message saying, "Not true and not trading him."

The Woodbridge, ON native had four goals and 11 points in 51 games last season. He had two assists in 10 playoff games in the NHL’s Return to Play.

Drafted in the fourth round (100th overall) by Montreal at the 2016 NHL Draft, Mete made the Canadiens as a 19-year-old after three seasons with the OHL’s London Knights.

In 171 career NHL games, he has four goals and 31 points.
