Boston Bruins Mitchell Miller Saga Comes to a Conclusion

During their historic run last season, there was one very large blip on the radar that caused a scene for the Bruins, Mitchell Miller. Miller is a young defenseman prospect that was a free agent signing for the Bruins, though he has a dark past of bullying and using racial slurs toward a developmentally challenged classmate.

Once news broke of the signing, it quickly turned to outrage. Amongst the fans and players, leading to Patrice Bergeron answered questions about the signing during an interview with Hockey Night in Canada’s Elliotte Friedman.

Boston quickly changed pace and decided to unofficially part ways with Miller. He would not join any of their affiliates, but we hadn’t heard what the next step in the process was going to be. We now have that resolution.

“We have learned that in lieu of a hearing, the parties reached a settlement under which Boston was released from its obligation while Miller received an unknown sum and was granted free agency.”

Larry Brooks of the New York Post

There is no doubt, Miller being released from the Bruins will not impact their success on the ice. Boston took a shot at trying to fill their lack of prospect depth with a questionable player, and it backfired on them.

One thought on “Boston Bruins Mitchell Miller Saga Comes to a Conclusion”

  1. Yeah the move made no sense, even from a stricktly hockey standpoint, him being scum aside, hes an undersized Right shot blue liner. He wasnt an upgrade from Carrick, Didier or Wissman in Providence and our NHL defense is stacked. He would have had to play in Maine. So all of that for an ECHL level player???

You can always count on them to be Bruin up a win. Ha, get it? I think Gene Principe would approve.  Being down 2-0 after a subpar first period, comebacks are always fun, especially after allowing the opponents in the previous game to come back and beat you. It was even better to see Evan […]
