Having read more into it (the prospect making a statement and asking teams not to pick him as well as issuing a statement of apology to the family, then Bergevin picking him anyways) I think the prospect's follow-up action does show good character and props to the Habs for giving him a chance.
Someone's career and future shouldn't be taken from them just because he did one thing wrong, esp. when he acknowledged he was at fault for doing that and rectified it. In this triggered society, second chances need to be a thing. -
actions have consequences. you can't just get off free because you said "sorry" what he did to that girl is gonna damage her for life, and if you say otherwise is victim blaming and part of the problem. that's just how it is, and that's the bigger problem with hockey culture with "boys will be boys" mentality that's under the microscope

Imagine being that desperate for talent. Lots of other players available and the Habs go with the one that will deservedly generate an enormous controversy.
I hope he gets the help he needs to reform his behaviour, but I certainly don't think that he deserves the privilege of being drafted into the NHL until he goes through that process.
