UPD: Flames renounce rights to Topi Ronni
https://www.tappara.fi/fi-fi/article...osepaily/5722/
Google translate so wording may not be accurate:
Quote:
Tappara SM league team player Topi Rönni is suspected of rape. The suspected crime took place more than two years ago. Rönni has told the club itself about the suspected crime.
"Today, I have received a summons application related to the matter. The last two or so years have been hard waiting for the matter to progress. I trust that the related course of events will be clarified in connection with the trial. For the time being, I'm out of the team's activities and I'm focusing on handling the matter ," says Rönni.
The Helsinki District Court has not yet determined the hearing date of the case and the case documents have been ordered to be kept secret. Rönni was a minor when the suspected act took place.
"We take the suspected crime seriously, but we are waiting for the court hearing and will evaluate the player's position afterwards. This is also about labor law" , says Tamhockey Oy CEO Mika Aro .
Neither Tappara nor Rönni will comment further on the case at this stage.

Timeline would suggest that the alleged incident occurred before he was drafted by the Flames. Wonder how much they knew.

He certainly would have went undrafted if teams were made aware of the allegations.

WTF scouts...was this an event that took place pre-draft? Who's doing their homework on these guys?

I'm not certain this is true, given what we've seen in recent years with other players

Ronni should be released if he didn’t disclose it during the draft process and the flames should be under some serious scrutiny, if he did disclose it.
Not great.

I mean this is a pretty aggressive step up from the likes of the Miller or Mailloux situations for example.

Sure, I just wouldn't be surprised by anything anymore.
I have a lot of questions for the Flames in the wake of this news. Just terrible.

Give him his due process but if he's guilty cut ties immediately.

not even that, only three. A 2nd (Rönni), a 5th (Bell) and a 7th (Littler).
How the hell does this not come up in the pre-draft process? Seriously. He's saying this has been up in the air for two years, how come the team(s) didn't know? You'd expect they turn every stone, especially if it's your only pick in the first four freaking rounds.

Brad Treliving and his staff are starting to pile up some significant strikes.
This is not good, and I just wonder if Conroy saying he liked to do things himself without a lot of involvement from others impacted our ability to properly vet people.

... I don't think he's signed (AFAIK). Can't release someone that you don't have under contract.

C'mon man, cut them some slack... How could they know? The police aren't going to be phoning up some company on another continent to comment on possible criminal charges in a matter relating to a minor that doesn't even work for said company. The only way they could have known is if Ronni told them.
