I concede that by someone drafting him it puts him one step closer to the NHL versus going undrafted, but are you suggesting that Bettman should step in and ban him from the NHL? It sounds like teams have already made a point of not wanting anything to do with him, so the slim prospect of an NHL career and the millions of dollars that come with it are likely already out the window. I'd also be okay if he gets to suffer the mental anguish of having to deal with this for the rest of his hockey career and beyond... it might give him a glimpse of what he did to the victim in this case.
No I would have put the onus on the teams not to draft him at all. Which most of them did.
