Management FULL VIDEO - Contrite Cam Neely casts blame across Bruins organization while apologizing for signing Mitchell Miller (MOD Warning post #1)

I think the most likely scenario is the one dom answered above. Less dollars out and within the cba. That removes nhlpa, lawyers, etc…

Just leaves a black eye with years to go back to normal tone.

I don’t feel like the black eye will be rhat substantial. Time will tell, but Getting a sense that they get past this with a fairly unscathed brand.

Yes, that’s very true.

Absolutely. We are struggling to think how the Bruins will move Cap once Forbert is back (Smith, Reilly, etc). Finding hundreds of thousands of dollars in Cap money in a similar situation in the future is going to sting when Mitchell Miller’s name is on the tab.

Going to sting to have to give up say a second get someone to take someone like a Reilly in the future in order to get necessary room.

Guessing the Bruins hope this plays out like the thread. People up in arms at first and the longer it plays out more and more people willing to let them off the hook.

Once the Bruins hit a nice losing streak they'll come back around.

I dont think so. Fans who care are greatly outnumbered. The vast majority accept the apology as fully accounting for the issue. This breaks my heart.

The money will count against the cap only if bought out.

Buried in AHL, or better yet, send him to ECHL, it doesn't count against the cap only counts against 50 contract limit.

same rule applies in ECHL..... SAME Union, not eligible if AHL has to approve player, likely same rule applies in the ECHL

The suspension, not the cap hit man.

Thanks Dom. Didn't realize that.

I'll bet that's the way it plays out. Can't imagine B's will want to stomach money against the books for this guy. Just extends an already painful situation.

me neither. I don't think the org meant harm to anyone. They were one of many teams. Not the first and last player with questionable character that will be signed in professional sports

Hope they don't get away with it. Bunch of cowards and liars.

 

[Gordoff]

I've cooled dramatically on this. Don't get me wrong, I'm still pissed but I don't know if this has risen to the level of a fire-able offense. Unless during the investigation, it was found that someone lied about the vetting process or who was/wasn't contacted. Then I think that person would be fired. If this is just a case of sheer incompetence, which I completely believe looking at the parties involved. Then I think they all live to fight another day. It doesn't appear as if they lost advertising or revenue from the blow back on this. So ultimately, what cardinal sin is Monty Burns firing someone for?

It is "all about the money" isn't it!?! And so goes life.

More like a nail than a pebble IMO Wally.

It worked with the smaller seats as well. The NHL and owners only care about one thing.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Threaten to sit him for three years, only AHL salary, no play. He may want out to try his craft somewhere else.

Better yet, ECHL if that is allowed. Utterly ends his career even if he scores points. A middle 20s player who never played above the ECHL would not develop at an NHL standard. Minor league salary would likely entice him to terminate and relocate to Europe?

 

[KrejciMVP]

if that player is signed can he at least get a game before he has to go to the Russian KHL. what a scenario. he did put up big points as a defenseman. 2nd chances arent bad

Lou, I think you are exactly right. Life moves on and outrage fades. I'm not sure I can move past this as a Bruins fan. This one hits hard. The organization seems to be willing to run out the clock, and the team's hot start is certainly providing some level of cover.

This could have been mitigated with an acknowledgement of ownership of the decision by someone in management. If it doesn't happen in the next few days, it likely not going to happen.
