Someone was eventually going to pick this player. Most other teams would also have taken a chance and drafted him -- just not in the 1st rd. This doesn't say much about Montreal -- they are not anymore 'classless' than any other team because of it. They just happened to be the team that took the bite.
NHL is a business, and drafting this player is a good business move outside of the bad PR.
