I'll restate from earlier: "In general, there seems to be evidence that shows that the abused are known to cling to their abusers for a variety of reasons and that- just because they're still together- doesn't mean that the relationship isn't still abusive."
Once again, not a definitive stance or statement, but I've said all I can with the information available to me. I would do my due diligence before even considering acquiring him and then, before following through, I would involve Connor and perhaps the whole locker room to get a grasp on how they'd feel about it.
If those within the locker room would take issue with it, I wouldn't pursue it. If they wouldn't, I'd cautiously pursue the possibility.

The edited phrase from my previous post:
"As for your question, well, his wife is still married to him, so I guess that he'll still stick around too, but we won't know whether it'll be abusive or non-abusive cohesion.
"
Nonetheless, your last two paragraphs are what I would do too. If they're alright with it, I move forward with the deal. If not, well, that's a different story.
