Jonathan Marchessault's scathing statement about the Canadiens and their fans

"The team that interested me the most, aside from Nashville, was Montreal. I really thought about it for a long time. There were good discussions with Montreal, I find that the organization and coaching staff are quite inspiring," the 33-year-old athlete also mentioned. "I think they are really doing great things and I would have liked to be part of that story."

"I came once a year and I thought it was okay. There's so much media and pressure. I also wondered if it was worth having my name in the newspaper every day or every two days. Either you're a king or you're a zero.

They are old enough to understand all this. At school, are they being teased? These are things to consider, not just as a hockey player, but also as a father."
