I was a finalist for an HR job with the Bruins many years ago.
Thanking my lucky stars I didn't get that job.
In hockey player terms Bergy is considered a little on the old side. In regular terms I consider 37 to be young. I cannot stress enough how impressed I am with how well the young man conducts himself and how eloquent he is. He was put in a crap position since Friday by management. He did an amazing job of balancing all the factors involved in navigating through the mess with the media. So proud that he is a Bruin.
True, but more then a few felt jettisoning Miller marked the end ‘time to turn the page’. Seems many would consider minimal consequences sufficient. I’m on record as saying I want at least 1 of the top 3 but feel that I am in the minority. I sense that at least half this board will be satisfied and beyond this with just Harkins going. Not going to put up a poll but that’s my sense. I think Sweeney particularly has been good at his job but unless he can show documented protests to the move unless he can show he was overruled then goodbye. A clean sweep would satisfy me most I think.Who has said only the scout is at fault? Feels very strawmanny.
They need to change the team name to the Boston BackpeddlersHarkins deleting tweets like a puke is absolutely hilarious. What a man of conviction!
If they buy him out the cap hits will be as followsWhat are the contract implications from this sign/release?
Full payment? take it from Don/Neely salary....
Sadly, I could not agree more. Gary Bettman has no moral legs to stand on in my book and I am quite convinced that he'd have no problems lying about when and how he was made aware of this situation.I can't imagine a scenario where Daly doesn't inform Bettman - this is a high profile thing, as has been borne out. I can absolutely imagine a scenario where Bettman just lies through his teeth to everyone. I just use history as a guide.
HopefullyProbably got a meeting invite from HR for later this afternoon

Don’t forget future players wanting to come here.This is just a clusterf***. Everyone appears to be lying - Miller's agent, Neely, the league. All of them have been either caught in lies or changing their stories. They're trying to pin responsibility on other people. Just a mess all around.
Why'd it have to be us? Why couldn't the Flyers or Winnipeg Jets have signed him? It's unnecessary and a total distraction to an otherwise great season so far. I'm in absolute fear that it's going to bring a dark cloud and affect the team on the ice.
Or Pastrnak re-signing long termDon’t forget future players wanting to come here.
My gut is the Bruins are going for a "for cause" termination here.not known yet.
my gut is between team, Miller’s agent, nhlpa, league and lawyers.
what a mess.

f***ing Cam
The turnover in that department is insane. I worked with someone years ago who was a recruiter for them and she said people leave within 6 monthsI was a finalist for an HR job with the Bruins many years ago.
Thanking my lucky stars I didn't get that job.
I think that’s all embarrassing. It’s like my brother saying “but he did it first!” Once he gets caught for throwing a ball in the house.Be an interesting legal road.
I'd be surprised if they didn't get out of Cap Hit though. First and foremost because they told Bill Daly about the move to sign him. Then when outcry got so big, Gary Bettman said there was no certainty that the kid would ever make the NHL. Ergo - we cut ties.
Now, I'm not saying Bruins were innocent victims here - they were not. I also don't want to see the Cap screwed up by this shit show.
So if I were the Bruins I'd tell Gary the Weasel that the League needs to help the Cap issue go away -- that or we provide dates and times that Bruins talked to Daly and put Bettman's balls in the public outcry vice.
I'd love to see a story "NHL ok'd signing of Miller. Changed story once public outcry grew:.
Don’t forget the Healthy Wraps!Don’t worry, Cam will give out vouchers for free home cooked jumbo meatballs at the next home game. Everything will be forgiven.
That's where I'm going, given Cam's answers.That would be a tough sell given he didn't do anything while under contract...unless they can prove he/his agent lied during the vetting process.
