MB went with a big upside Dman. Some baggage tho. Really surprised the Habs org of all did this

Huge upside , in life there are second chances

Gary looked pissed

I think he is like 6’3. 215 lbs already.

What Mailloux did was gross, but he ain't some rapist.

I like the pick. Not sorry.

 

[Habsy]

Russian forward would have been nice

Bergevin? Draft A Russian?

 

[Habspatrol]

I know a lot of people are down on the kid cause of this scandal. But let's not act like he raped someone.

Massively douchey thing to do... but hopefully he's honestly learned a lesson and becomes a better person for it.

What'd he do?

Looks like he hasn't really played any high level hockey though....Jr B, and lower level Swedish league. Smacks of David Fisher.

He's gonna want to play hockey again.

Same here. I'm not going to cancel a kid for something he did at 17/18 years old. I condemn what he did, but he deserves a chance.

 

[GGpX]

What'd he do?

He took pictures of sexual nature of some girl he was with, spread them around, and was charged for it in Sweden.

 

[Habs4Life]

From the second this season ended for the Habs, it has been a GONG show.

 

[Habspatrol]

What'd he do?

After consensual sex with a girl, he shared a naked picture with his friends.

According to a report in The Athletic, the woman who had been victimized in the Mailloux encounter suggested all she wanted from him was “a heartfelt apology,” but didn’t get it.

Not good...

Prospect Logan Mailloux withdraws from 2021 NHL Draft after conviction in Sweden

"The NHL Draft should be one of the most exciting landmark moments in a player's career, and given the circumstances I don't feel I have shown strong enough maturity or character to earn that privilege in the 2021 Draft," he wrote Tuesday in a statement on social media.

On Nov. 7, 2020, while playing for SK Lejon in Skelleftea in northern Sweden, Mailloux took the photo without the woman's consent and distributed it among some teammates. In December, he was issued a summary fine, akin to a conviction in Swedish court, for “Kränkande fotografering” (offensive photography constituting an invasion of privacy) and “Förtal” (defamation).



On Monday, the woman told The Athletic she has not forgiven Mailloux.



"I do not think that Logan has understood the seriousness of his behavior," the woman wrote in an email. She added, "All I wanted was a heartfelt apology."



In her email to The Athletic, the woman wrote that Mailloux sent an apology via text that "was no longer than three sentences."

I don't like the pick for reasons, expressed above, that have nothing to do with the issue at hand.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Bergevin is in full fuck you mode. This is nuts.

 

[Habsy]

So stupid guy shit?

He's a late bloomer, the talent is there.

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Not only will we continue to not draft scoring aside from Cole but I guess we’ll piss Bettman off even more, great...

 

[east coast]

And we'll still be waiving the defencemen we do pick, and trading for other teams garbage to fill those extra spots.
