Mete not on the block and according to MB and the TSN retraction he never asked for a trade.

mtl declines

Whether a formal request out of Montreal has been made or not, Victor Mete's agent, Darren Ferris, says, "We are exploring a change. There just isn't opportunity there."

That is fine for Ferris to say but if MB doesn't want to trade him there is nothing Ferris or Mete can do. Also what does "We are exploring a change" mean exactly? Does that mean he wants to be traded, moved to the wing, have another player like Kulak traded, changing agents? What exactly does it mean only Ferris and MB know.

And MB said he wasn’t trading pk subban a few days before he...traded pk subban

Yes he did. All I said was

Mete not on the block and according to MB and the TSN retraction he never asked for a trade.

I never said he wouldn't be trade or even that he didn't request a trade just that ACCORDING to MB and TSN he hadn't.

I also asked the question

What does exploring a change mean exactly? That could literally mean just about anything. Without context the quote ensures speculation.

mete wants to play so now MB has to find away to play him, or trade him

So now with Ferris let the hockey world know his client would want a move to another team if it came to that, Mb is now in a position of weakness, they forced his hand now making this public and in a media circus like Montreal, he needs to resolve it fast so it’s not a never ending story line

I’m sure MB is pissed that they did that

Why tf is Ferris so difficult. Josh Anderson, Mitch Marner, Sam Bennett, Victor Mete. He needs to chill out. I shouldn’t be able to name a single NHL agent

Every player wants to play simple as that. Problem is they have to earn their ice time. If Mete wants to play he needs to start out working Kulak for that position or hope someone gets injured. I like Mete and perhaps he draws in after Kulak has had A couple of shaky games. I don't know if MB will allow Ferris and Mete to force a trade. I wonder if this may be another misunderstanding much like the Gallagher negotiations. Which IF I am not mistaken was also Ferris.

Edit* Gally's agent was Johansson not Ferris my mistake

Doesn't really matter he's a 7 d
