«You've received a lot of support from Canadiens fans on social media. What does that mean to you?
The support has been crazy. Fans are writing to me and following me on Instagram. Before the draft, I had 2,500 followers. Today, I have [over] 25,000. It's insane.
Have you had the chance to speak with some of the team's players?
I met
Lane Hutson [at the Draft]. On Instagram, I got messages from
Nick Suzuki,
Cole Caufield,
Juraj Slafkovsky, and other guys. They told me they're excited to meet me and are looking forward to it.»
