Character guy . It's like dorion lives on another planet. Why bring this guy around a bunch of kids?

On June 16, 2018, Watson was arrested in Franklin, Tennessee, on a misdemeanour charge of domestic assault. 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.[18] According to the police report, at the time of the incident Watson and Guardino were arguing about her drinking and not being able to attend a wedding.[19] 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. The specifics of the "gets handsy" statement were not clarified in the police report. Watson was subsequently charged with suspicion of domestic assault. The police report noted that Guardino became "extremely upset" when Watson was taken into custody.[18]

On July 24, 2018, Watson pleaded no contest to the domestic assault charge. He was sentenced to one-year probation and ordered to complete a 26-week batterer intervention course. Violating his probation could earn Watson up to a year in jail time.[19] As a result of his charge, Watson was suspended by the NHL from all 2018–19 preseason games and 27 regular season games.[20] After appealing his suspension to an independent arbitrator, Watson's suspension was reduced to 18 games.[21]

On October 13, 2018, Guardino issued a statement in which she took full blame for the June 16 incident, claiming that it was not an act of domestic violence and that Watson would never hit or abuse her. She attributed the incident entirely to her own drinking problem. In the public statement, Guardino apologized to everyone involved, including the Predators and the city of Nashville, and thanked Watson for his support

Hilarious when I said I’d rather have Voynov a couple days ago. At least Voynov is a real player. Same police record, but a better player for sure.

So we can acquire Brandan Leipsic with the 4th right after.

a baboon could have done a similar job than Pierre. 
we're gonna finish bottom 5 next year without a doubt and that's counting that some teams in our division might wind up being worst than us. 

but maybe that's fine. we get a better draft pick and the kids get some ice time to prove what they have. 
then we surround the team with better guys. 
too bad Dorion is trading away draft picks like they are worthless. he's such a tool. this will be his last GM job.

And then we draft another D (this time justified) while watching Raymond and Rossi have their first 65 point season.

What you are missing is Raymond should’ve gone 3rd. Yzerman sitting there laughing his Donkey off at Ottawa taking Stutzle.

Flo The Action wrote:i think there are two camps on here about how the draft was handled. maybe some people in between. 
as it stands the draft is done. picks were made. 
we may not agree on if the right choices were made but this is the prospect we have. 

we'd be better off talking not circling back to the rights and wrong. not for a while anyways. 
i dont agree with many of the picks but i also don't care to talk about it ad nauseum till these players have actually played some NHL games. 

maybe curb this discussion until we can actually have something to compare and some period of time to analyse something that's been done.

i'm not saying stop picking out what Dorion is doing but the draft is already picked apart. lets move on. no?
