Boston Bruins Find 'No Misconduct' from Executives in Independent Mitchell Miller Review
The Boston Bruins' failed signing of defenseman Mitchell Miller turned into a public relations nightmare for the Original Six club. On top of that, they have paid Miller north of $116,000 since November 4th, per Frank Seravalli.
In the wake of the backlash from the signing, the Bruins pledged to conduct an 'independent review,' examining the club's vetting process to avoid such scandals from happening again. That review, led by former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, concluded on Thursday.
"Throughout our independent and thorough review process, the Bruins' leadership and employees cooperated fully. Based upon our review, we have recommended a series of changes and enhancements to the process of vetting future players," said Loretta Lynch.
What You Need to Know:
It is also worth noting that "the [review] determined that, while the Bruins did have an existing process for vetting players and there was no misconduct by Bruins employees during the Miller vetting process, there were gaps in the club's vetting procedures, which created challenges when faced, as here, with a recruit with significant red flags," according to the Bruins official release.
The lack of accountability is hardly surprising, but these results are better than doing nothing about it, I suppose.
