I recommend you read the entire Athletic article detailing Connelly’s history and his path to where he is now. It’s more than just a singular incident. There are multiple red flags.

There are also multiple prospects who are talented and have shown high character traits it’s not like they won’t get a good player if they choose to go in another direction.

Fans should also remember that these players are team assets, and are very valuable. Using their discretion on how they utilize the organization’s time and money play a major role. If a player has character issues, then it’s not on society, or social media, it’s on the player. Making excuses for their behavior is short-sighted

The GMs should remember that social media is not a reflection of society as a whole. The social media addicts are far more prone to being offended, outraged and judgemental. Some people spend so much time in cyberspace they begin to think it’s the real world. If Connelly is the best player available and his true character checks out, Yzerman should take him.

Charlie Chaplin, who was Jewish, made a comedy which was entirely based on making light of Hitler and the Nazis. So my movie recommendation for this evening is The Great Dictator, starring Charlie Chaplin as Adenoid Hynkel (Hitler). You can laugh or be offended it’s your choice.
