The career he pursues is up to him. But he may find that he is limited by companies that want to hire him given what is known about him.
Which is a consequence of his action.
Again, I'm not saying the NHL should ban him from their league. My view is that should have been left to teams to do the right thing and not draft him.
And that's where the Coyotes screwed up. They did the math and decided his abilities were high enough that they were willing to compromise their morals.
When people do things there are consequence. And there are second chances. Both. He can have a second chance, but the consequence of his actions may be that his career choices may have some limitations.
