72 hours after signing Miller, the Boston Bruins immediately terminated their agreement with him. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman had ruled that Miller would not be able to play in the league.
And there's bad news for those who believed Miller wouldn't benefit from his short stay with the Boston Bruins. Regardless if the organization decides to let him go, Mitchell Miller will indeed be compensated, and it will be a large amount.
Miller will get a guaranteed salary of around $500,000 for the term of the contract, despite the fact that he will never play in the NHL. The agreement, which had an AAV of $950,000 and a three-year total value of $2,850,000, was signed on November 4th.
On Monday morning, Cam Neely of the Bruins referred to the team's greatest regret as the signing of Miller.
«I take a lot of pride in what we stand for as an organization, and we failed there,» .
