NHL Suspends Austin Watson 27 Games
On Wednesday the NHL announced that Predators’ forward Austin Watson has been suspended for all preseason and the first 27 games of the 2018-19 regular season, without pay, for unacceptable off-ice conduct.
Watson was charged plead no contest to to a charge of domestic assault on July 24, 2018.
Sorry, but this isn’t a strong enough statement from the NHL. Beating a woman and admitting it warrants more than one-third of the regular season.
Completely agree. I’m all for at least a season long suspension for this scumbag.
Isint this what Vaolmonov/what ever that guys name was.
That was the end of LA. This could be the start for NAS.
Dropping a top4 D for same thing.
Couple yrs later, like LA.
True no guarantees that Preds want him back after he is cleared to play.
Should be full season.
Bettman is wrong. AGAIN.
Full stop.
“Unacceptable off-ice conduct”…????
Hopefully team releases him. There must be an out clause for this type of behavior.
Jeez, what a rotten guy!
