Are there different Jeffery Simmons ? I looked him up and the story was he punched a girl several times because she was punching his sister. All on video.You know anyone that cheers for Jeffery Simmons on Sunday Afternoons? Kid was 17 and showed his buddies photos of him having sex with a girl. Not something I would have done or condone but it’s not a 25 year in prison offense with and probably at least 1/4 of pro athletes, singers, actors, politicians ect have done far worse as adults.
for sure. hindsight will be a beautiful thing in 5 years.For sure hope L'Heureux pans out, but we could've gotten some great value picks at 40 & 51.
For example, could've gotten Pinelli still at 40, and probably one of the scoring wingers Stankoven, Pastujov or Tuomaala at 51.
He actually punched an adult woman attacking his mother. My point was that he learned from his mistake and became a better person. The Montreal kid can do the same thing. It’s on him to improve but to cancel him as someone banned from society is what some want to do now.Are there different Jeffery Simmons ?

And yeah, he’s massive.
But it’s kind of similar to this. All he did was admit how wrong he was many times, and apologize as many times as people seemed to think he needed to. And seemingly never did anything like this before or after.
I think Poile’s 2 picks were a very nice balance. Pure offense then a pretty good offense guy with some grit / nasty. A team really needs the latter to go far in the playoffs and win reg season games.For sure hope L'Heureux pans out, but we could've gotten some great value picks at 40 & 51.

Did it ruin her life ? If so, take the appropriate action against him. If it didn’t, then don’t use that as a false talking point.
If you think he owes somebody else something else, then explain what that is. Don’t just randomly announce that everyone should move on from him. That’s pretty much the definition of ‘cancel’. Everybody walk away from somebody and leave them nothing.
Because you say so ? That’s really the gist of what I’m getting at. 1 person, or 5 or 10 ….. announcing what everybody else will do, based on their personal rules for 7 billion other people.
Having said all that, we should all be allowed to have and say our opinions, both sides, all versions. It’s what makes the world go round.
From what I've read on Svechkov, he actually sounds like a younger Johansen type of C. His strengths are reading plays, being a playmaker on offense, and being tenacious and technically precise on defense. He can dig out pucks in the corner and be hard to play against. His weaknesses are his skating, high end speed, and inconsistent/mediocre offensive numbers.I think Poile’s 2 picks were a very nice balance.

Come on man, have some perspective. Poile gave up the #51 pick to change the 40th pick to the 27th.For sure hope L'Heureux pans out, but we could've gotten some great value picks at 40 & 51.

Gotta love hindsight GMs.for sure. hindsight will be a beautiful thing in 5 years.
Both our picks they had top 15-20 on their board. If they don’t pan out, I could see some uncomfortable conversations occurring.

When you said ‘you just move on’ I figured you meant all the teams, which is functionally the same as the wonderful ‘cancel’.You have a reading comprehension problem buddy. Go back and read my post and then circle back.
I didn’t call to cancel him or state he should have more punishment. I am saying I wouldn’t draft him because his decisions were very flawed. I would not want that in my locker room.
I do think people can change. I think they can learn. I want that. His comments do show contrition and regret.
I still wouldn’t draft him.
Hope that makes sense. I believe in redemption. I just wouldn’t draft the guy.
you do you.
I love trading up to get your guy on your board.
And why isn't there a thread for that pick yet?How did we get the extra 4th round pick? Was that something from last year?
