Sure the kid made a mistake that lots of 17 year olds have likely made, hell I’d be lying if I didn’t have friends that did similar things when we were that age.
But the thing here is that Montreal is in a position to set a better example, especially for the young men that are fans of the team.
I don’t think the kid doesn’t deserve a second chance to play in the NHL someday, but to draft him in the first round tonight is just an abhorrent decision that sets a terrible example.
