Boston Bruins make major announcement about Mitchell Miller signing
The Boston Bruins are one of the hottest teams in the NHL and recently they pissed away their goodwill, after being publically hosed in the media by both Patrice Bergeron and Nick Foligno after the Mitchell Miller signing. The front office lost face in the eyes of NHL fans and the media as well.
The situation continues to develop, as Miller's agent, Eustace King will try and make sure the Bruins stay on the hook for the contract.
And Now this:
As part of this commitment, the Boston Bruins have retained an experienced and respected team of professionals, led by former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch of the law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, to conduct an independent review of our player-vetting process. This will help us ensure that our process going forward reflects our core values. The Bruins organization will fully cooperate with the independent review team and will publicly disclose the results of the review upon its completion.
The Bruins have hired an independent third party to investigate their vetting process. This is a huge lack of confidence in Don Sweeney, as shown by this move and it's concerning as there's been a lack of discipline from the top down in the organization.
Loretta Lynch will lead the review of the organization's player-vetting process. This seems like a possible start to accountability, but if it changes nothing it's nothing more than a public-relations move.
The simplest answer would be to hold the scouts involved and Don Sweeney accountable, but I wouldn't expect something so bold from Cam Neely.
He has to go.
