Preds prospect L'Heureux ready to put suspensions behind him

He definitely doesn't sound very contrite or self-aware in that article, but fine. He'll learn or he won't, we'll see. His playoff was certainly promising. I would imagine at least 2 years in Milwaukee for him, so we've got lots of time to gather new data on his evolution.From the article:
"So it’s just really knowing when to cross it and when to stay on it — maybe take your licks and find another opportunity.”
L'Heurex is the new Marchand confirmed.
Yeah, if I throw beer on a hockey player, I do think it's reasonable for that hockey player to attack my 16-year old kid for sure, that's clearly the appropriate response.I love that all these articles keep leaving off the part of the 16 year olds dad throwing beer at him. They should be happy they only got the butt end of a stick.....
I hope the kid makes a push to unseat someone on the bottom of the roster.
Do you have a link for this? This is the first I’ve heard about the dad throwing beer.I love that all these articles keep leaving off the part of the 16 year olds dad throwing beer at him. They should be happy they only got the butt end of a stick.....

A link-no. He has a family member that plays travel soccer with my daughter. So straight from a family member.Do you have a link for this? This is the first I’ve heard about the dad throwing beer.
Have you even watched the video? There is a video. You can find it in this thread. See if you think that matches what your buddy reported?A link-no. He has a family member that plays travel soccer with my daughter. So straight from a family member.
And the Dad moved out of the way. It's why the kid got hit. It stinks,
but it is what it is at this point.
I’ve known Token for awhile, I’m going to trust he’s correctI mean I've been pretty supportive of the guy but if the kid's Dad threw a beer on him and then ran away causing his kid to get hit I don't think he gets the suspension he did.
That sounds like one of those created stories or rather maybe two different stories that have merged together, traveled down the family line, and is no longer actual reality. Kind of like every family saying their great great grandmother was " a Cherokee Princess " and now that everyone is taking their DNA tests for family origins they are finding out it definitely was a load of bull.
I like it. You would have hated playing against me and hipcheck85From the article:

I mean, he can be correct about his daughter playing soccer with L'Heureux's little sister and hearing it from that, and... it can still be completely false. The video very obviously doesn't show any of that.I’ve known Token for awhile, I’m going to trust he’s correct
I'm not saying he is lying about it or that I distrust him, it's further up the family line I don't really trust. It's literally the first time we've heard that one. I just have a hard time believing that wouldn't have been tossed out by the team, league, or heck even from his own mouth if that was the instigation.I’ve known Token for awhile, I’m going to trust he’s correct

You guys licked people too?I’ve known Token for awhile, I’m going to trust he’s correct

Depends on what they looked likeYou guys licked people too?
That's why I always wore a cageDepends on what they looked like
ThisLet’s just hope he flies a little straighter and learns from this incident and becomes the player the drafted him to be.
I wish him the best of luck and hope to see him in a Preds jersey sooner than later.
I don't feel like it's any sense of "moral superiority" to say you shouldn't spear a 16-year old fan after a game? I mean, that's obvious and hardly anybody has ever done it in the history of the game?Some people here have a pretty high sense of moral superiority that I bet they would have a hard time maintaining under the spotlight, as a teenager, or in a highly competitive situation with all of the above attached.
But you know...toss your stones and all that.
This
You do you. I could care less. I agree it is a reprehensible act, and yet, I don't live in absolute moral judgment of the kid at every post and mention of his name.I don't feel like it's any sense of "moral superiority" to say you shouldn't spear a 16-year old fan after a game?

1. Aggressive, tough, feisty, hard-nosed, self assertive-love having players like this
2. Out of control-nope, none of these.
He leans toward #2 upon occasion. Now he has parents, teachers, coaches, friends. He needs some counseling and advice but maturity mostly.
There have been multiple good players that have attributes as in #1 above without reverting to area 2 attributes.
He has some good skills; he needs to consider the risk to his future of certain actions.
I can't see how it's any big deal to just acknowledge that what he did was terrible/unusual while at the same time doing exactly what you say and hoping he moves on and matures. They should be mutually amenable paths.You do you. I could care less. I agree it is a reprehensible act, and yet, I don't live in absolute moral judgment of the kid at every post and mention of his name.
You can... you know ... move on and see what a kid who has yet to fully develop both mentally (the frontal lobe which really is key in making these non-impulsive decisions is not even close to being developed for him) and physically learns and turns out to be.
He could be a trash human. He could also end up being a stand up guy who made a terrible mistake.
Imagine yourself as a teenager and how stupid you were. Some people take that too far. And yet ... some of the best people I know have the most eye opening redemption stories, learning moments, etc.
But again ... you do you.
We can agree and disagree. I enjoy you as a poster and person (from what I have read/learned), just not in this area (or while reading today fwiw lol).
But.... that's because we really haven't seen much of the other stuff..My biggest concern with this prospect is that the majority of conversation around him has nothing to do with his offensive abilities, defensive abilities, scoring ability, stick handling or skating but about his universally unacceptable behavior.
