"In a Daily Faceoff report, Mailloux was quoted as telling Swedish police investigators that he believed the woman wanted to “ruin his life.” Multiple sources told The Athletic that in interviews with some NHL teams, Mailloux has portrayed the woman as vindictive." https://theathletic.com/2716093/2021/07/20/woman-victimized-by-nhl-prospect-in-sweden-all-i-wanted-was-a-heartfelt-apology/?article_source=search&search_query=mailloux
Not sure that's an example of someone that "learned from it". The $ punishment badly represents the damage to the victim. That may seem harmless, but that can ****ing hurt someone psychologically. Just paying a few hundreds $ can't solve this
If MTL felt like he really showed a more mature of himself after that (like his statement), I can understand that. It seems like other teams had him on their radar. With Miller (ARI pick they eventually renounced) "teams that asked Miller about the incident before the draft felt he did not show the appropriate level of remorse or take responsibility for what he did." It doesnt seem like other teams felt like that
