When Michael Farber .......arguably the Best Journalist to ever cover The Montreal Canadiens calls it the most classless move ever made by the Montreal Canadiens who pride themselves on being Classy throughout the Years . He takes direct aim at Geoff Molson waiting 5 days to put out his meaningless statement to the Media . Emily Kaplan of ESPN stated it was a Selfish Move made by Marc Bergevin who put himself above everyone else by making the choice to Draft Mailloux . What was interesting though was that she explained that the NHL has no Domestic Abuse Policy in the CBA ......that Gary Bettman and Bill Daly oversee those Events as they happen ........so they have appointed themselves ....Judge ...Jury ...and Executioner .

A lot of this is grandstanding. It's getting a bit over the top. Facts are that somebody was going to draft the kid and he obviously made a stupid mistake and he is and will pay for it by having his name dragged through the mud. He obviously needs people around him to get him on the right path as everybody needs a second chance. Drafting a kid is not the same as giving him a contract or putting him an NHL lineup, you're giving him an opportunity to show that this is a one off and you regret it and make amends. If not, you don't have to sign him and he never plays for your team. I don't see anybody roasting Nashville for drafting L'heureux after acting like a moron all year and getting 4 suspensions, including spitting at somebody and giving the crowd the finger. I'm not suggesting what he did is as bad, but we have not heard a single word on it. Same for Carolina signing twin delinquents Anthony DeAngelo and Jake Virtanen(who was actually accused of a sexual assault), I don't see the major headlines and media falling over in outrage?

Big difference ……….Now you want to criticize Nashville drafting Herreux and the two things are soooooooooooo very different ? It was discussed by the Draft Experts as a Risk Reward Thing . Nashville .....It's College and Pro Football Training Camp Time down there , other than the Season Ticket Holders and the One Predator Beat Reporter , they probably don't even know the Draft Took Place Yet . You are a Big Bergevin Guy and you want to find a Reason to give him a Pass...……...don't worry Geoffy is the only guy that needs to give him a pass ……..and he did .

It's not that far apart, blatant immature behavior, Nashville didn't just draft the kid, they signed him 3 or 4 days later. At least Montreal is making Mailloux prove that he has learned from his screw up and will keep his nose clean. Virtanen and DeAngelo and L'heureux deserve a second chance but Mailloux should be banned for life?

Virtanen and DeAngelo and L'heureux deserve a second chance but Mailloux should be banned for life? You keep making that extreme claim. Nobody else is. And the more you try and compare it with anything else is just disgusting. Each asshole event can stand on its own. Sex crimes vs racism isnt a direct comparison. Anyone who has read and understood anything about the Mailloux story sees a kid who didn't think he did anything wrong who did a half assed apology and is clinging to the toxic hockey culture that made him think his "trophy" (in terms of his pics and sharing them) were perfectly acceptable within the social aspects of a dressing room. What did people expect? For him to go undrafted and play out the season as an undrafted overager and have a quiet season in terms of attention and if after going through the draft process with interviews and what not next year then sure draft him and put him on a development track. But as people keep saying (over and over and louder and louder in case you're not paying attention) is not drafting him when even he said not to is just an insult to the victim and a slap in the face to all survivors of those sorts of events. Time heals wounds. Nobody wants anyone banned for life. But the fact the kid who committed a sex crime and showed little remorse found himself to be undraftable and any NHL team didn't is a pretty good look into the culture that needs to be fucking destroyed within this sport. Being a "highly ranked RHD" should not trump the lack of integrity and morals the kid showed leading up to the draft. To pick him on night 1 in round 1 was the loudest "Fuck you" anyone could have sent to the victim. To not see that and to keep comparing it to immaturity or even gross acts that stand on their own does not make ANYTHING better. To even try to compare spitting on someone or getting a Q suspension to this is the fucking lowest of the low. Why you ever felt content to go there to try and lessen what this kid did or make L'Heureux look like some sort of monster is just disgusting. You should know better. We might be all anonymous here but show at least an ounce of some moral fibre to understand the difference between what Mailloux did and what L'Heureux did. All teens are immature. Not all teens are convicted of sex crimes. The more it gets repeated and has to be said the bigger the issue this pick really shows itself to be.

They must be moving a winger or wingers. Toffoli Caufield Anderson Gallagher Drouin Hoffman Armia Lehkonen Byron Perreault If they add a veteran C, that means Evans and/or Paquette could get reps on the wing as well. I wouldn't move Drouin because his value is at it's lowest. Byron or Lehkonen are most obvious choices.
