Selecting Logan Mailloux in the 2021 NHL Draft was an utter shock and a dismaying choice by the Montreal Canadiens. (EricEngels)
This was completely off the radar, an utter shock, and a dismaying choice.
Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin, moments after stunning the hockey world by selecting Mailloux, said this statement was the impetus to trust Mailloux is worth giving a second chance to. Mailloux’s remorsefulness for his actions -- outside of how it might have affected his reputation and his career -- is in considerable doubt. Especially given that the victim of his actions doesn’t believe he’s remorseful at all., the young woman said all she had hoped for from Mailloux was a sincere apology but instead received a three-sentence text that smacked of insincerity.
“Even if you said so, you’re eligible to be drafted,” Bergevin said. “So, that was clear with the league.”
