I am not without sin. Never said I was.

Not all sins are equal. Doing this to another person, especially when they are a teenager is evil.

Evil? More dumb immature decision. We already have a team around Logan and he will have weekly visits with the league. His billet family is well aware, and he knows he’s on a very tight leash. Also, behind the scenes the female involved will be very well financially compensated

The fact that you apparently do all this work with hockey players and think that a kid who committed something like this is being thrown under the bus by people saying that he simply should grow and learn before earning the right to be drafted into the nhl is horrifying and simply further condems hockey culture like this.
You care more about kids who abuse women because they play a sport you like then you do about women and you should be ashamed

The player cant even muster a sincere apology and he's got people like you out here taking bullets for him shameful

Yes, evil. Sharing sexual images of a person without their consent is evil. We also don't know if he took those images with or without her consent.

If the Sabres drafted him I'd be absolutely killing them for it.

The attempt of people to act like what he did isn't a big deal is what I am.actually upset about.

Never once did i say what he did was right, and i never once tried to justify what he did. In fact i wouldnt have had any problem if he didnt get drafted bc of it. But you make it sound like he doesnt have to deal with the justice system and that hes getting off scott free. I do see however, that since youve got nothing substantial to say you have to try to put words in my mouth. Bergevin did his due diligence and decided that hes already learnt from it. You can agree or disagree on that but the point is the person who is giving him that 2nd chance is the one who decided if hes learnt from it. He shouldnt have to show you hes learnt from it, who tf are you?

I agree with the sentiment of wanting to teach and guide young people to be better humans at a critical time of their life. And this kid *may* feel true remorse, but my problem with him being drafted is that he has done nothing yet to earn the right to have the support of a storied sports franchise, with its teams of lawyers and a PR people, to right his public image and craft his statements and mea culpas. Plenty of young people screw up, but few get this kind of opportunity, and this failing upwards is as likely to teach him impunity as it is to humble him. Bergevin’s responsibility is to the franchise in its entirety, its on ice and off ice brand and success – investing time in this individual, who could easily be a total bust since he is a dubious prospect quite apart from all of this, takes resources away from other areas the Habs need to work on. I think Bergevin should have traded down honestly.

Not at all. I’m pretty strict with the players and have taken more than two dozen to meet with victims to make sure they understood the severity of their mistakes. I’ve seen some pretty big athletes breakdown and cry once they fully understood their past choices.

Then I bring them into high school classrooms to tell other about the consequences of their choices. I have retired athletes that thank me to this day for making them better husbands, fathers and citizens.

Logan will turn out to be an amazing citizen. You’re taking this extremely personal. Go for a walk, read a book. You have minimal knowledge of this. It’s sunny outside. Go feed a homeless person. Go stand in line behind a single mom at the grocery store and pay her groceries.

But you dont know what went on behind the scenes. Bergevin obviously felt comfortable enough based on his converstions with mailloux and all the info they had to draft him. That tells me that bergevin obviously felt he had learnt from this incident, and until he does something else im willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Gee, I better not tell you about the 3 Buffalo Bills players I counseled a few years ago or when I worked with Evander Kane.

My goodness some people are perfect on here.

Wow are you playing the overly outraged white knight card. Evil? The kid had consensual sex and took a picture. He already paid his price legally. He’s not a freaking rapist. Stop this nonsense

What so many people are not aware of, is the work that has already begun to help Logan make better decisions. There is a ton of work that will be done behind the scenes with this individual and trust me he fully understands the stupidity of his mistake.

I have my eyes open about athletes. Makes it harder to enjoy sports as an adult.

Never said I was perfect. But I've never taken sexual images of another person without their consent and I've never shared sexual images of another person without their consent. I've also never sexually assaulted anyone.

It's remarkably easy to not do sex crimes.

You seem like a huge part of the problem though if you help keep this stuff under the rug. I feel sorry for the women in your life.

It is outrageous. There is alot of nonsense here and none of it is coming from me.

He never sexually assaulted anyone. The young lady even admitted she initiated the sexual act. As for the women in my life, my wife of 25 years says she’s had a very good life with me but thanks you for your concern!

Yeah, look at me taking the well being of a 17 year old girl who is traumatized by a hockey player personally.
You are a part of the problem, a big part. Even if all that fluff about you taking part in hockey development is a lie, which it probably is, you are an enabler and it is because of people like you standing by and pretending the abusers are the actual victims that more women and girls will be hurt and i hope it keeps you up at night

Taking secret pictures of people in sexual situations is a sex crime. Sharing those pictures is a sex crime, doing any of that with someone under the age of consent is a sex crime

Let's pretend that this is true. Has this player done that? No? That's what i thought

I know we battle on hockey trades, but it's nice to know you are a good person.

I wonder if I should call my good buddy Sheldon Keefe and show him how bent out of shape you are on this one.

Anyways I’m done responding to you.

Have a good day!

I mean you can’t pull yourself from the draft your team needs to renounce your rights

Of course you're done, you think "someday he might be sorry so it's ok now" is some sort of meaningful pontificating. Pathetic in, pathetic out

Thanks, you too.

Just a heads up pals, she was 18 not 17
