Re: Coyotes won't renounce draft pick who bullied Black, disabled teen
I had a long response typed out on my cell, posted it, hit refresh, and it wasn't there...so I'll be keeping this shorter.
I take back what I said about this kid. I feel like he's a POS, or had parenting that didn't care about others and it rubbed off on Miller. He's apparently been assaulting/bullying this kid since grade 2. If the parents are saying he's been bullied since grade 2, I feel like there would be incidences prior to this one that would have been brought up.
Should Miller have his career ripped from him for what he's done? I dunno, people have been fired for that GHRITP bullpoop stunt, and everyone is ok with that. I would have removed this guy from our board and never draft him, even if he was a 2nd round talent and it was the 7th round. There's total character question here that shows he doesn't care about others and correcting mistakes. As a social aspect, this is even worse. The ripple effect this may cause isn't worth having him around in my eyes (and a lot of GMs).
No way would I want him in my organization, unless it was shown he can make efforts to correct his past issues. I'd revisit him as an undrafted player if he had gone out of his way, unprompted, to try and correct it. If he didn't, I'd contact him myself as a GM and tell him he's got to "grow up" and he's missed an opportunity at the NHL because of what he's done.
