In the last few hours, the now ex-Montreal Canadiens player, Tyler Toffoli, began to deliver his impressions of today's trade and to give comments to reporters.
Also, Toffoli revealed to Luc Gélinas, of RDS, that he had good conversation with management, with Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes, before the trade. He sent them a clear message:
Despite this wish, we know what happened. Toffoli is now a Calgary Flames player, which makes his wife very sad, as he said. (just like many Habs fans, by the way) Certainly, it confirms that it was really not his decision to leave, and he never wanted that.
