Michael McLeod and Hart have some chance at working their way back to the NHL, but I'd be shocked if any of the rest do.

The results of this case are not going to spur any behaviour change in men. The kind of men that do these things don't care, or think she was asking for it, or think they deserve sex because they bought her dinner or she smiled at them or kissed them or changed her mind after expressing interest, or whatever.
The men that do these kinds of things aren't now thinking they should stop. They are feeling vindicated that she was asking for it / wanted it and only changed her mind when her boyfriend/ mother got upset or she thought she could get some money out of it. To them, the court decision proves that women are manipulative bitches who are out to destroy men's lives.
I don't even think the men involved will "behave better" now. Maybe they learned a lesson and they will or maybe they will blame EM and all women for "ruining their lives."
