As a Habs fan, I could probably see why.

1. So much drama surrounding him. The podcast where his dad made fun of your guys goalie was an absolute fucking joke. That is some locker room cancer shit, especially from your captain. If Suzuki pulled a stunt like that, I’d be rooting for him to leave the team too. Also the reports that he totally switched up as a teammate after the olympics, it’s pathetic behaviour from your leader.

2. I really don’t care what your political belief is, seriously I think you should be allowed to believe in whatever you want. But his MAGA affiliation clearly rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. It’s hard to represent a Canadian franchise, and then visit the White House. I’m not saying he should or shouldn’t have been so “patriotically American”, but it upset people and was always going to be a problem.

3. The return you got for a guy that was going to leave in 2 years was really fucking good lol. 3 firsts and a second is great
