Such a dumb take.I don't agree about formenton. It's more and more looking like nothing is coming from the team canada situation. Every single other player that was there is still playing. Dorion should have treated formenton like everyone else innocent until proven guilty. But he didn't and now he's gone so I think if canada players get cleared. I see no reason why he can't come back.
Dorion offered him his QO knowing full well that he was in trouble. Formenton’s camp could have accepted the offer and played, but they didn’t.
They didn’t, and haven’t said a single thing about anything because he is obviously not welcome to play in the league until there is closure.
The mere fact that the HC issue isn’t closed yet shouldn’t be taken as evidence that nothing will come of it, it should be taken as evidence that there is a will to make absolutely sure that all evidence is gathered and considered. The ever so obvious speculation is that Formy is JD1, which would obviously explain why he would be treated differently than everyone else.
This is all under a microscope by the public and the government. Foolish for a fan to think that it boils down to an NHL GM not signing the guy when it is sooooo obvious given the absolute lack of complaining from the players camp, questions from the media, and news from the team, that this is very serious.
In fact I find it gross that some fans put the guy playing on their team above being patient and waiting to see the outcome of the criminal investigation into the sexual assault of a young girl.
