The Bruins signed Mitchell Miller to an entry level contract. He was originally drafted by the ‘Yotes in the 4th round of the 2020 Draft but they renounced his rights when a bullying incident of an intellectually disabled child came to light.

The bullying victim's Mom apparently is on the record stating that her son never got that apology. The Bruins full of crap? Shocking, I tell you.

This is really a dilemma. On one hand it was pretty awful what he did. On the other you can cancel him for the rest of his life for something he did as a child - But should you? It was awful but not mass murder. Likely unforgivable…

I can see both sides of this. Surprised the Caps didn’t starch him up.

She said it happened every day since they were in first grade. And what he did went way beyond. I was bullied a bit at that age, but I was never forced to suck on a piss-soaked lollipop.

I don't want to cancel anybody, nor do I have that power. I would like to see evidence of actual remorse, repentance and growth before the kid begins a professional career though, and I feel like that's a perfectly reasonable expectation. Whatever nonsense this is, it's a far cry from even the most basic form of repentance.
 
Bettman spoke about the Mitchell Miller signing today. The Bruins didn’t consult the league before signing him.

I happened to talk to Cam Neely since the time that he was signed. He’s not coming into the NHL. He’s not eligible at this point to come into the NHL. I can’t tell you that he’ll ever be eligible to come into the NHL. If, at some point, they think they want him to play in the NHL, and I’m not sure they’re anywhere close to that point, we’re going to have to clear him and his eligibility.”

And if he’s on a NHL suspended list, it’s hard to believe that the AHL will allow a player on an NHL contract to play if he’s not eligible at the parent club.

Bettman: Bruins prospect Mitchell Miller ‘not eligible' for NHL at this point

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said Saturday that controversial Bruins defenseman prospect Mitchell Miller is not eligible to play in the league right now and might never be.

Hit from behind and a hit to the head. What's the over/under on games suspended? Half a game?

If it were me he’d be sipping his next 200 meals through a straw. But, since the cowards at the NHL have this authority they will probably give him a monetary award and make him the front runner for the Lady Byng. Player safety first, right Gary?
 
The NHLPA says the league has not informed them of any suspension or eligibility issue with Mitchell Miller.

 
Honestly I don't think the NHL really needs to do anything here in regards to Mitchell Miller. The comments from Bruins players to the press should be enough to give the Bruins management enough pause to never call the kid up to the NHL. The Bruins NHL players spoke and spoke loudly.
 
Hits like that Anderson one should be an automatic 10 gamer…I guarantee you the players would stand up and take notice when you started taking 10-15% of their annual salary away for a stupid predatory hit and decision like that. That hit is not borderline anything just as filthy and blatant as you get. I always said it will take a guy getting paralyzed for life or killed before the league wakes up…
 
Anderson has a hearing today, as does Matthew Tkachuk, for a high stick against Jonathan Quick.
