Description
On Friday, the Boston Bruins announced the signing of defenseman Mitchell Miller to an entry-level contract. Miller was originally selected by the Arizona Coyotes in the fourth round (111th overall) of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, but the club renounced his draft rights after an Arizona Republic investigation revealed how Miller and a classmate bullied and mistreated another classmate, Isaiah Meyer-Crothers.
General manager Don Sweeney gave his reasoning for the signing, despite his misgivings about the move. It points to this decision being guided my team president Cam Neely and perhaps ownership as well. If they were trying to beat others teams to this signing, they should have passed.
The fan backlash has been immense, Patrice Bergeron and Nick Foligno were among the players to openly question the decision, Gary Bettmen isn't sure they'll even allow him to play at the NHL level, and the Bruins didn't speak to the victim's family.
Host Ian McLaren discusses the signing, the aftermath, and offers a personal reflection to end the episode.
