Back in Montreal on Wednesday to mark the one-year anniversary of his $10-million fundraising commitment to the city's children's hospital, P.K. Subban reiterated he has every intention of visiting regularly now that he's a Nashville Predator.
Even if he's able to accomplish a level of success that eluded the Canadiens during his tenure with the club.
One of the kids in attendance asked Subban what he would do if the Predators won the Stanley Cup this season.
His answer?
"If I win a Stanley Cup this year, there is no doubt it's coming back here."
To date, Subban has helped raise $1.4 million for the hospital. He admitted he wasn't sure he'd be able to keep up the momentum following the trade.
He's found the opposite is true.
"When I got traded, my bond with the community and people in the community only grew stronger," Subban said, according to Arpon Basu of NHL.com. "It was like everybody kind of rallied around me rather than ran away. It speaks volumes of the city of Montreal and the province of Quebec and the people here.
"Throughout the trade I think a lot of people forgot what this was all about. It's about the kids and the families and nothing else."
While donations continue to pour in, Subban hopes some extra silver - raised over his head - will also appear at the Montreal Children's Hospital in the future.
