The Wings if you're from Michigan or played for Michigan.
I agree. He knows when to fight and is a veteran who will help in dressing room.
Probably because most people are more aware of his situation than you are, apparently.

Why not share the whole source.Nah, I'll address below.
Evidently you aren't...
"According to the police report, an officer was flagged down after a witness reported seeing Watson "swat" his girlfriend, Jenn Guardino, and prevent her from leaving the couple's SUV at a gas station. According to the police report, when the officer arrived at the scene, he witnessed Guardino "trying to back away from being shoved, saying ‘stop’ and covering her face." At the time of the incident, Watson claimed he and Guardino were arguing about her drinking and not being able to attend a wedding. Watson admitted to pushing Guardino and the officer noted red marks on her chest. Guardino denied that Watson had touched her, but later changed her statement and told police that he was responsible for the marks on her chest. Guardino told police that Watson at times "gets handsy" and pleaded with officers not to press charges, fearing damage to his NHL career. Watson was subsequently charged with suspicion of domestic assault. The police report noted that Guardino became "extremely upset" when Watson was taken into custody."
You're right though, I just dunno anything about the situation. It obviously never happened, given that his girlfriend recanted her statement. The witness, police officer, red marks, and Watson himself all lied. After all, it's completely illogical that a domestic violence victim would protect their abuser, especially when he is the runaway breadwinner in the relationship. This NEVER happens.
Also, Slava Voynov's girlfriend just fell down a lot.

Considering how fast he moved on from Vrana for personal issues and not even something related to the abuse of others.. I have a feeling we are not privy to the actual knowledge surrounding the situation. Also the fact he earned multiple contracts after that. Again, happy to admit to being wrong if I am.. as I don't condone any violence towards a spouse of any gender.
I just don't want him on the team because he sucks at hockey and loses every fight he has...
