It’s a shame of an end to a promising hockey career. Karma is a bitch.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

What a waste.

 

[pown]

thats honestly a good move from him, make yourself into a man, I hope he finds forgiveness.

 

[Senscore]

Hopefully he has also retired from assaulting people

 

[Xspyrit]

What a waste.

Could have had a pretty good career, his separation speed was so fun to watch, mean streak, overall package, had a bit of everything

Formenton has let us down

Formenton - Greig - Joseph/Perron (what a line that would have been)

Could have fit on any line LW too

 

[OmniSens]

What the f***? Is this for real? Lol... I hope no one ever hires his construction company.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Piece of shit doing piece of shit things.

Was a very good 3rd liner for us though.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

f*** him.

He let himself down, too. In a decade or so, once he has a taste of the real world and the blue collar working life and finances, he'll realize just what he threw away.

What the f***? Is this for real? Lol... I hope no one ever hires his construction company.

Not to be a downer, but if you're looking for a construction company that doesn't have any felons on the payroll....you'll be looking a long, long time.

Great guy. gonna miss him

 

[Ice-Tray]

Wonder why he didn’t want to go make a few million in Russia. Seems strange.

Can he currently leave the country?

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Drafting for character.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Won't he be serving jail time first?

 

[Stylizer1]

Can he currently leave the country?

Has he been convicted?

 

[Alf Silfversson]

Has he been convicted?

Don't need to be convicted to have restrictions. Staying in Canada may be a condition of his release/undertaking.

Unless he’s in a different situation than the rest, which I’m not sure is the case as he was in Switzerland last year, though it could differ per person, he could be playing elsewhere. Dube is in the KHL right now.

 

[StoicSensFan]

Good riddance

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

If allegations are too then fully deserved. No matter how good your skills, if you commit acts like that, you deserve to fall.

Will we ever hear proper investigation results tho?

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

What are the odds that this is an eccentric managers big play to try and best their rival construction firm in the highly contentious recreational construction league?

Zero

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Really surprised that he didn’t try go the KHL route.

 

[mysens]

Tough bananas

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Sad story all around.
Too bad he got mixed up in it.
