Ranked 23rd here.

Edit: my bad.. that's among North Americans.

Boys club mentality at His fullest. Not only is IT a bad Pick but IT sends a message from this organization that it's ok to commit a sexual crime (yes, sharing a naked picture of Simeone without her consent is a crime). MB and Timmins should be fired for this Pick and yes the organization should void that Pick and apologize.

"NFL PrOsPeCtS hAvE dOnE wOrSe!!!!"


Is that the standard we're using? I certainly hope not. The kid isn't completely written off by any means, but he did something very f***ed up, definitely needs to atone for it.

 

[RabbleMasterBlaster]

I love the crowd that goes "other players have done worse!"

Can you imagine Ted Bundy saying something like that? "Well Manson did way worse than me! Cut me some slack!"

Stop justifying his actions by comparing them to even worse ones.

 

[Tuggy]

Wouldn't have been my choice but MB doesn't really give two shits at this point.

As for Mailloux himself...what he did was pretty gross and he'll pay for that for a long time. But I don't believe in cancel culture. I think everyone deserves a second chance. It's not just given though, he still has a lot to prove he deserves that second chance. We'll see if we ever get there.

 

[BLONG7]

Well...............took the night off from HF and things got a little heated?? WTF happened?
Who is this kid?

 

[Sterling Archer]

I just want Bergevin to draft the BPA.

Bergevin drafts BPA

Oh come on!!!

Or Hitler, even. Imagine Hitler saying that. Holy Smokes.

Seriously, you just brought Manson and Bundy into this discussion.

I think this should be the kid's nickname.

Are there any highlight videos

There's really little public video footage of him, they probably scouted him a lot in person... I hope

 

[Gaston Gingras]

Question is why taking him in the first round?

I don't think I've seen anyone say he doesn't deserve a second chance provided he is remorseful, matures and atones. But the player himself asked for his second chance to be next year.. hollow or not, the Habs said they were fine with taking a sexual offender even before they finished their self prescribed atonement and maturity.

Bergevin drafts BPA

Oh come on!!!

Yah what a coincidence, the BPA was a RHD. It is more drafting on needs. It was planned and decided. They knew he would be there on pick 31, or else they would have moved higher to pick ceuleman.

Who is this kid?

He is 6'3 dman. Some scouts compare his playing style to Charles Manson. Others Ted Bundy. Maybe a bit of Jeffrey Epstein in there.

 

[Garo]

I still hate it part II

 

[Bilgerat10]

The hypocrisy is simply rich. What the kid did was not "a mistake" -- it was a "douchie stunt"! What the Canadiens did when they picked this character was not "a sleight of hand power draft move" -- it was another "douchie stunt"! The Habs draft team planned a whole year for this?!

I do agree with this.

Making him a first round pick after what he did is tough to understand.

Really I'm not sure what Bergevin is thinking.

It's more nuanced than that. They don't think it's OK. They just think what he can bring is potentially enough to outweigh the PR disaster.

That's what it seems like. And any google search will come up with results about the scandal, so it's even harder to find anything.

In that way only, it is a lot like the Romanov pick where we weren't really able to find much of anything (although Mailloux was still more well-known around the draft).

 

[Big Lurk]

I think this should be the kid's nickname.

I think we all know his nickname from now on will be "Kodak"

 

[Byron Bitz]

Disgusted by this pick. Renounce his draft rights

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

So, douchebaggery aside, would this be a good pick normally ?

My buddy told me he read teams were thinking of grabbing him in the 2nd
