This is absolutely bullshit.  We’ve gone from trading a captain for giving the finger to a photographer, to the other extreme. Embarrassing.

Oh Jesus… and Chicago comes out with a group of women, while Bergeron picks a pornographer..

Bowman brings 8 women with him ... Blackhawks organization is in the midst of a sexual abuse investigation  ... not much to be proud of in that organization at the moment

Well …. I like that they say he is first round talent. I like that he is from the Knights program. 
 

I just need to hope that his remorse and regret is sincere and that the Habs have done their due diligence. 
 

if MB thought he would be available in the 2nd round, he’d have waited. Someone was going to select him - hopefully we end up on being glad we did. 
 

the number of people (men mainly) viewing pornography that uses (abuses) sex trafficked women is huge. None of us to play the holy card. I, for one, am upset and disgusted every time another human is abused. I’d expect him to pay for his crime. But, I also believe in forgiveness and that people can turn their lives around. The kid is too young to write him off for life.

You make some very good points. I have mixed feelings on this pick. It could be a great story if he turns his life around or it could go the other way.

This is just a bad pick.  Period.

 

Bad on an organization that prides itself on being the 'class' of the league.

 

Not only did they pick him, but they made him a First Round draft pick!

 

Think about it.  If they wanted to take a chance on him, they could have gotten him in the third or fourth round.

 

Honestly Marc Bergevin should be ashamed of himself. 

 

Did Geoff Molson know?  If not - I expect the entire Molson family/company is scrambling right now.

 

Given all the other factors involved, Bergevin may just have fallen on his sword.  Definitely the kind of thing a GM could get fired for - and there will be pressure for the tam to do just that.

Hope it works out but I hate the pick.

Reminds me of the McCarron draft - better players available but they draft based on need/size.

 

Even if the kid had tremendous character I’m not sure he goes in the first round.

Another shocker !!! 
 

Love the drama but hate the pick for a kid that didn’t want to be picked, to select him as the Habs first round pick is going to be detrimental to him

 

Even if he pays his dues to justice and society, other teams will have an easy time in trash talking him out of his game

I just wish they took Raty or something. Yikes.
 

Best we can hope for is the dust settles and this isn’t focused on for too long. He’s a young man who made a big mistake, and you have to hope he comes out on the other side more humble, and most of all with actual respect for women.

 

I don’t like it, but it’s done. Now we just have to hope for the best.

Yes, he has a ton of work to do to change people perceptions but it can be done.  Craig McTavish spent a year in jail for vehicular manslaughter.  I don't think anyone would question Craig McTavish's character now. He did the work. It can be done. It won't be easy for him.

Not just that, you don't think the media and fans in Montreal won't eat him alive if he struggles with his game. The worst place for this kid is Montreal.
