Summary

Summary
Wyatt wasn’t in the business of passing judgement on people he didn’t know very well, but it was hard not to with Rozanov. Beside Dallas Kent, who Wyatt had the misfortune of being on a team with, Rozanov was probably the most notorious asshole in the league.
But while Wyatt had certainly heard Rozanov chirp and say things that were demonstrably malicious, he couldn’t think of a time Rozanov had used a slur, or said anything even remotely offensive. He stuck to chirps about the actual hockey ability of his quarry, and, while they often stung and were usually egregiously hyperbolic in nature, they were never vulgar or derogatory.
And now this: Shane, probably the nicest hockey player Wyatt had ever encountered in his tenure in the NHL, had invited Rozanov to be co-director of the charity. And not only that, but Shane had named it after Rozanov’s mother. Wyatt trusted Shane implicitly, so if Shane trusted Rozanov, then so did Wyatt.
