Mete is gonna play. Idk which of MDZ/Holden/Brown sits (definitely not the one they just signed 2×2), but Mete will be a regular. For what it's worth, Garrioch mentioned in his article about the signing that the expectation is that he will play top 4. Now that sounds crazy to me, but Garrioch wouldn't write that if he didn't have some inclination that would be the case.
Also I'm sure I've made my opinions about trading Connor Brown abundantly clear, but I really don't understand why, if Ottawa were to make a move like that why they wouldn't parlay that return into a bigger move. Lavoie could be a useful middle six guy in the future I suppose, but if Ottawa were to happen upon a shiny new 1st round pick, it seems like it makes a lot of sense to package it in an Eichel type move. Being able to get eichel and keep their own 1st would be huge W, given how hard pressed Ottawa will be to make the playoffs this year, especially if Eichel misses time.
For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure Palmeri has a deal done with New York. Supposedly Lou is being Lou and holding off his signings so other teams Don't know what kind of cap space they're working with.
