The intense lapse of judgement by Bruins management to sign him, followed by weak justification of the move, and then finally walking away after a PR nightmare, is one of the most disappointing displays of putting skill over character since Montreal's selection of Logan Mailloux in the 2021 NHL draft.
We now know, however, that the Miller case isn't truly over. Not only is he still under contract with the Bruins, destined to report to their AHL affiliate in Providence, but he will become a very rich man off of his failed contract.
NHL Insider Greg Wyshynski went more in depth about the Bruins' options.
This implies that despite only being a member of the Bruins for a few days, Miller will make $516,667 from the deal.
This is truly just an embarrassing display on so many levels, and one that won't be forgotten too soon.
