Clearly it has worked out, but I don't see why a point of view, based on the information available, that the signing had some risk - should be unbelievable?

Because it was a one year deal with little to no risk for a guy who based off his KHL numbers was still very likely to produce top six NHL numbers.
Yet people mocked it like it was the worst and most embarrassing signing of the off-season. It didn't help that it came not long after the Subban/Weber trade which people seemed to think was already a huge mistake for the habs, so they just piled on when this happened.
