Maturity and self control on the ice is something that comes naturally with age. You can't teach fearlessness and nastiness.
It's more, he takes 1-2 of the same profile player every year, and frankly, they have all basically sucked and/or not made the NHL.
With that said, this prospect has grit plus skill. Not sure what to make of him. This could be a really good selection. It could be a reach. I'm pulling for him. Power forwards are HARD to find. Sometimes, you have to take your shot.

Agreed, think this is a great spot to take a higher risk, high reward type player.He was not going 40. Mckenzie had him at 25 and he literally gets his notes from GMs and scouts.
If you are going to take your shot, this is the time to take it. This isn't a deep draft. Power forward type of player? *Shrug*
Let's see what happens!
Can you imagine this guy and Jeannot together?
They are worlds different in scope of issues. Please don't compare them.Anyone feel better about the L'Heureux pick with Montreal's pick after?

Chinrikov , Pinelli or Raty LEts Gooooooo
Woo Hoo.@desmondtootoo brain is going to explode.
I’m with Montreal on this one.I'm not complaining about the pick. He's edgy, what the f*** Mallioux did was f***ing criminal!
Keep Olivier on the roster, and we may actually be hard to play against for the first time in many years.Can you imagine this guy and Jeannot together?
I’m with Montreal on this one.
It’s good to see that the social justice army doesn’t dictate who may or may not be drafted, quite yet.
They’ve already anointed themselves the deciders on what teams can be named, and what can be plastered onto jerseys.
Glad to see the Habs show that every team in sports isn’t cowering to the .001 % that scream and make demands all day.
The kid has already been shamed and punished several ways. No need to cancel his life.
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.I'm not complaining about the pick. He's edgy, what the f*** Mallioux did was f***ing criminal!
so if they flame out, our scouts will feel poile’s wrathPoile quoted as saying they had both of these guys in their Top 15.
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.I just don't agree.
What he did can literally ruin a young lady's life.
He paid some legal fee's and reparations. Who cares.
He has suffered basically no penalty. I'm not trying to say punish him, but what I am saying is this, you are drafting a character problem. You can't get a more clear character problem. I would never knowingly bring that into the locker room. The lack of judgement is so bad ... I just cannot get past that.
Again, I'm not trying to add punishment. I'm speaking from a team standpoint. At some point, you just move on. This isn't about canceling him. It is about not adding a person who has shown major judgement problems.
