I'm having a VERY hard time with this. Equally as disturbing as the NHL deciding that putting Patrick Kane in a commercial was a good idea.
Can't say I'm getting a great feeling from any of this these days.
This was a bad, bad, move by Melnyk. Can't imagine what he was thinking.
In fairness to Kane, he was completely exonerated. That was an attempted shakedown on him. Even the woman's lawyer quit on her.
He wasn't exonerated, he was just not charged. And it's not like that was the only complaint that's been filed against him.
Regardless of all that, the optics of choosing him over the literally hundreds of other players that they could have gone with are absolutely terrible, and it sends a message that they just don't care.
I had not heard of other complaints against him, except by a cab driver.
