NHL comissioneer Gary Bettman has made his feelings on the Montreal Canadiens choice to take
Logan Mailloux in the most recent entry draft very clear.
"I was stunned. Surprised wouldn't begin to explain my reaction," Bettman said on 'The Power Play with Steve Kouleas' on Thursday. "I'm a dad of two daughters, I have four granddaughters. What was done was horrific."
Bettman also said the situation will "require evaluation going forward."
"I don't think anybody should lose sight of the impact of what happened on the victim and the victim's family," Bettman said. "While (Molson) said the Canadiens and Logan are going to try and make good, we're gonna have to see what that means moving forward in all contexts."
"They're going to continue to see how this evolves, how he progresses...and at the appropriate time, we may be called on if and when they want him to play and he wants to play."
Canadiens owner and President Geoff Molson has already said Mailloux will not take part in Habs' rookie and training camps this season. Mailloux was convicted in Sweden of sharing a photo of a woman he was involved in an intimate situation with without her consent. He was ordered to a pay a fine, part of which went to the woman involved.
