Instead he turns into this massive underdog story, partly due to the league's handling of it, the way he was traded and just the way he carried himself through it all... then he even manages to have a halfway decent couple of games 3 on 3 and he's an easy MVP pick.

Fully agree, Montreal/NHL could jump on the PR train of this if they called him up.
