The sport is better off if we give a 2nd chance to someone that can actually help change. Maybe Quenneville can foster change. Babcock couldn't, so i know there are risks.
And it's meaningful that Kyle Beach gave his blessing for JQ to get a shot again.

Throwing around the term “cancel culture” is lazy.
Rehabilitation, second chances, these things can (and should) happen outside the scope of the complete restoration of the privilege and power someone had before they harmed someone else. That isn’t the standard we use outside of professional sports, so I’m not sure why that’s the only standard certain people insist on using within it.
Saying Quenneville shouldn’t be an NHL head coach again isn’t in any way suggesting he isn’t deserving of the chance to rehabilitate or having a second a second chance. We need to think a little bit differently about what those things actually mean if that’s our definition.
