i wonder if that's the son that caused Guy all sorts of legal grief.

edit: nope, was the other kid
In 2007 Lafleur's son Mark was arrested for assault, forcible confinement, and other charges, and remained at his father's house as part of his bail conditions. In 2009, Lafleur was charged with giving contradictory testimony about whether Mark had respected his curfew.[47][48] Lafleur was convicted in 2009, but in August 2010, he was unanimously acquitted of all charges by the Quebec Court of Appeal.[49] He filed a $2.8 million civil suit against police and prosecutors, claiming that his rights were violated and his reputation damaged but did not win his case.[48]



also, why would the Marty St Louis get a standing ovation by the habs faithful? there used to be a higher bar than.... absolute fucking last place.
I was curious to see if he was taller that bettman, though

Seattle should definitely grab Wright and I think that's probably the perfect situation. He can stay in the O another year and develop and maybe they'll be ready to take a stab at the playoffs in 23-24 with him and Beniers up the gut.

This draft is whack
