It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Bolding mine, is there a legal liability reason for such a poo poo-tier apology like this, it always makes my skin crawl when people say "if" something caused harm, it was a supremely lovely decision be sorry regardless

I hope somebody presses that dumbass on this part of the statement. What new came to light besides the NHL and general publics reaction being so immediately negative?

Brutal look, and yet another Bruins front office guy that doesn’t take responsibility for the signing. Whose call was it lol

I also love the "going with the group mentality of hurting others" at the very end, as though other nameless kids were the ringleaders and poor impressionable Mitch was just peer pressured into going along.

The whole thing is a magnificent achievement of "Jesus Christ you people are such babies, FINE" translated into ten paragraphs of weaselese.

Finally, as a father, I think there is a lesson to be learned here for other young people. Be mindful of careless behaviors and going with the group mentality of hurting others. The repercussions can be felt for a lifetime."

Careless behaviours like…rewarding an unrepentant racist bully with hundreds of thousands of dollars without vetting him at all :v:

I hope some sort of punishment is given to the Bruins, the front office can’t just all deny responsibility and hope it goes away, would send an awful message for the kind of change they’re trying to foster in the sport. Once again, gently caress Cam Neely

I've made a huge mistake.
Really says something about Sweeney and Neely for thinking they could ride this out and ultimately get away with it. They can play dumb all they want but the only "new information" they received was that most hockey fans don't have the same rock bottom standards they do.

I tended to have a higher opinion of Sweeney than a lot of other Bruins fans but this whole thing definitely soured me on him. Neely has always been an idiot.

So, does the racist bully still get his money? It was an AHL contact, are those guaranteed? It's kind of more hosed up if he just gets a large sum of money now and the Bruins should donate the same amount or more to the victim's family and charity. If Miller gets paid he should donate the entire amount if he wants anyone to believe he has any desire to ever redeem himself.

I'm not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure that yeah, the contract was signed, they have to pay him that money.

He has made it abundantly clear that he doesn't give a poo poo if anyone believes he has any desire to redeem himself.
