Thr Mitchell Miller story gets worse and worse. His agent Eustace King of O2K Sports Management released a statement that Miller met with and committed to work with The Carnegie Initiative, among others.
The Carnegie Initiative tweeted out a response, paraphrasing Lee Corso…not so fast, my friend. They say they never met with Miller.

And the Bruins come to their senses. Miller is gone.

Yeah, there's a lot of online chatter calling for them to be fired but that's not realistic. Still, you'd hope that the rest of the executive suite is planning to have a serious discussion with the two of them about ... you know, actually checking on low character prospects before singing them to make sure some baseline effort has been made towards earning a second chance. It's the Bruins so they'll get over it because it's Boston and they're an institution, but you really couldn't have had a worse PR weekend if you you have actually tried.

So, how many instigators did Vegas get? I think I see three guys jump on Anderson. Canes please take note.
I'd like to know what athletes are represented by O2K and King in particular and ask them why they aren't holding their agency to account. The agency hasn't exactly been working in their client's interest in this. The guy needs counseling in a major way, and they're just ignoring that and hoping they can squeeze a few bucks out of him.
He would need somebody to play the role he's playing in the operation of Wrexham Football Club. It's one thing to finance a lower tier EFL team by taking a few bad but well paid roles so you can pump a couple of million pounds into annual operations and quite another to consistently front a medium market NHL team something like $10 million a year until they can grow (or in this case re-grow) a fan base.
Good thing for NJ that they hedged their bets on Blackwood and brought in Vanecek this summer. He's no world beater, but he's been consistently competent for his entire career thus far. With the rest of their roster shaping up nicely, just getting reliably average goaltending is a step up for the Devs. Not sure how they feel about the Swiss kid they're stuck with as a backup though. That's a long timetable to have to ride a guy who's never been a full time starter, even in the A.

I live my life believing that the vast majority of people on this planet have good hearts, but reading things like this make me pause for a moment and reconsider my beliefs.
