SUNRISE, Fla. – Predators general manager David Poile did not comment on the release of court documents in Mike Ribeiro’s civil lawsuit for the player's alleged sexual assault of a former nanny to his family.
When asked at the NHL Draft if any of this information, which was brought forth last week by On the Forecheck, changed the team’s stance on re-signing the player, Poile referred to the statement the team used in March when the civil suit was reported by TMZ.
“We had a statement back then that’s the same statement we have now which is there’s nothing new to comment on,” he said.
