Trevor Connelly's off ice issues are a big nothing to me. He didn't drive drunk and kill someone, he didn't beat or rape his girlfriend, didn't do the Mitcher Miller shit (who still hasn't taken accountability for that, btw), etc. Immature 15 / 16 year old boys doing immature things at 15 / 16 years old. He's since apologized and seems to be repentant for it. But if that's not good enough for some here, then so be it.

Despite the stupidity of it all, I would still draft him. Mailloux actually committed an offence against a real person, which is worse than being a general, but abstract, arsehole.

Narrator: it wasn't. These are the natural habitats for the self-righteous douchebags that overlook their own misgivings and transgressions while expecting perfection from others.Trevor Connelly's off ice issues are a big nothing to me.

Puck bunnies don't help either. These are teenagers with raging hormones that get idolized by some and without parental guidance? They do stupid shit.
Not an excuse but a look into just how we as sport supporters help pave a path for some of these boys that make it too easy for them so succumb to their baser instincts.
Respect is learned, it's not a base instinct, billeted kids aren't watched properly.
The system is rotten. These boys should be taught that any transgression involving nonconsensual sex or abuse means you're out of the program system. This also needs reinforced.
The only thing these overly aggressive boys, with thoughts they can do what the want, will respond to is the real fear their work on the ice will be all for naught. Put the fear in them.
That's why I'm glad these cases are happening, it'll instill more fear and thus caution.

And of course social media allows hammerheads to publicly out themselves as douchebags very, very quickly and easily. Imagine if Ty Cobb or Bing “Putter is not for Golf” Crosby had had access to TikTok.

We don't have embassies here. And the last thing this world needs is another podcast.

You'd think Hockey Canada would be spending its resources on stuff like this rather than a legal fund to make rape charges disappear. But the "wimmin is bitches" culture that permeates the sport and HC"s amplification of it, is the literal problem. Because players know that if they are talented enough, every bad thing they do will be excused or covered up. Connor Bedard could be a serial rapist and he'd never miss a shift.

I would not hold dumb things he did at 16 against him, especially since it didn't directly hurt anyone and that he's profusely apologized for it. We can't have a standard in society where growth and improvement aren't accepted for people's past transgressions, especially teenagers.

If it was a one off, no issue (assuming it was just some immature statement). If it is a pattern of concerning behavior or just going through the PR motions, then I'd have to look harder into it.
I agree . . . but he’s not going 2OA, and wasn’t ever, even without the incident in his past.
for a unique reason, I would love to a guy named Nygaard on the team

I think it's all but guaranteed he'll be available at our pick.
Yeah but would you take him if Eiserman or Catton are still available?

That comes across as a backhanded compliment.
