His puck handling is a thing of beauty. Defenders clearly respect him and don't overcommit knowing they could be embarrassed. He's slowly starting to get up to speed.

In any case, what a steal that trade was. Complete robbery.

Honestly it’s a fair trade. Columbus is doing well without him. They got out of an 8m contract for a guy that asked to leave. They had to move him

Yes but not much after that. Easy to see how long injuries impact even the most talented.

One game does not tell the whole story

I know you're not completely down on them I just don't know why so many here has so many questions like what do people expect 100 point guy

Montreal hasn't had any stars for the last how many years up front
