Ryan Whitney, former NHL player and member of Spittin’ Chiclets, commented on the situation.

Wise words!

Gavin McKenna is a disgrace to the sport of hockey. Committing felonies in your draft year is disgusting and I personally believe he should fall to the Oilers in the draft as punishment https://t.co/5IDC4Iy521

Lots of jokes about McKenna being drafted to other teams now.
I can’t believe people are hoping Gavin McKenna’s reputation and career are over after he defended his own mother from a guy who was harassing her.
Shut up and go be in your agenda pushing feelings somewhere else.
You people are losers, cancel culture mob mentality is the issue
