Tyler Toffoli comments about the departure of Kotkaniemi

"I thought the whole scenario was strange," said last season's leading scorer for the Canadiens. A pretty accurate comment, given it was the news that stunned the hockey world in the week following the Hurricanes' offer. Despite this, Toffoli praised the Hurricanes for attracting a lot of media attention to the team. "Even those who aren't fans of hockey have noticed. The sport grew as a result of it. Everyone was talking about hockey for a week."

Tyler Toffoli is not used to being in a team that has so much drama and media around them! Get used to the Canadian market buddy. NHL season begins in 28 days!
