He's going to Seattle, so he plays Montreal twice a year.
He doesn't need to score against us to kill us. He can just become a franchise center while Slafkovsky doesn't pan out. That could be a long-lasting pain... from Shane.
That said, he only has himself to blame. He expects to be deserving of a certain status. He should have shown that passion in Kingston.
However I think the Habs brass, given the context, should have warned him they would take Slaf. Especially if you go talk to him 6-7 times, etc. To leave him on the spot like that to be humiliated without being prepared, I dunno.
