With their 31st overall pick, the Montreal Canadiens drafted Logan Mailloux, an 18-year-old man who had renounced himself from the draft, saying he wasn’t mature or worthy after he was fined in Sweden for taking and sharing non-consensual photos of a partner he had consensual sex with when he was 17.
He said he did not want to be drafted, but the Montreal Canadiens still drafted him. They said they wanted to give him a second chance and help him grow and mature, and as expected, he didn’t refuse.
