Too bad he receives such misplaced hatred from so many people in here. Max, along with being one of the league's best goalscorers without ever having had a legitimate center, also plays solid two-way hockey and is proud to wear the CH and the C. He was chosen by the players to be captain for a reason. Really unfortunate how people's frustration with other things is often being taken out on a player who developed and flourished within the organisation, carrying our offence for half a decade, and represents the team honourably and proudly.
Cheers to Max, I'd be glad if he stuck around longer term if we can't find reasonable return for him via trade, but understand moving him given the team's current predicament.
And to those of you who choose to spew nothing but hatred for the captain of our team, and most other things related to the Habs, I really urge you to re-think how you spread your meaningless negativity and how it affects the culture on our Habs forum. Anger is the easiest way to unite people, but creates so much tension and makes it really unpleasant to want to visit the site. Though I do understand, times are hard. There's reason for hope nonetheless, and it would likely be more constructive to focus on that instead.
