Same. He chose to sign with Ottawa in free agency back when he was one of the most sought after free agents that summer. He doesn't seem to me like the usual "wants to live in a hot climate and hates Canada" cliche we hear.
I also wonder if he originally wanted to play for the Canadiens in 2020 and Bergevin went with Toffoli over him. Which I don't blame Bergevin on.
Anyway I agree on him being productive in Montreal. If he can put up close to 20 by the deadline that'll ensure a strong return.
We'll have to wait and see. He was playing in a high octain offense in Florida with good playmakers like Huberdeau and Barkov. We see with aging Hoffman what a difference that made.
