Shea Weber writes a thoughtful letter to Montreal Canadiens fans after trade
Yesterday it was announced that Shea Weber was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for Evgenii Dadanov. Weber's career is already most likely over as we all well know, but it was still hard for some Habs fans to see their captain get traded.

Weber took the time to write out this message for this former teams fans:
Growing up playing hockey in Canada, it's every kid's dream to play in the NHL. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have not only done that, but to have had a chance to do so for a Canadian team and a member of the Original 6.
Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined playing for let alone being named captain of the Montreal Canadiens. Pulling on that legendary jersey every night was one of the greatest honours of my career and it's something I appreciated every chance I got."

Weber played for Montreal for 5 seasons after being traded for PK Subban, and he quickly became a fan favourite.
