I think some Habs fans like keeping a close eye on him simply for the fact that most people thought they would pick him. Some we're really disappointed that they didn't. Add to the fact that Zadina said that he would "fill their nets with pucks", the funny meme with Habs fan in disbelief and lots of posters (including Wings fans) that we're saying how they couldn't believe that the Habs passed on potential star and I can see how some Habs fans want to keep an eye on him.
I go check his stats from time to time (like most prospects) and am happy to see that things seem to be going better for him in the AHL.
