I wonder how BA, Jankowski, Plandowski, and Sullivan all feel about it as individuals.

As I said in the other thread, I’m a big fan of right shot defensemen who can skate. I think this is a win for a fourth round draft pick.

Sylvania's Miller hopes to hear name called in NHL draft

Yeah, he was 14 at the time but he and another student were charged with “bullying” another student. I remember the details were pretty bad, but I don’t remember specifics so I won’t speculate. But If you type in “Mitchell Miller Toledo Blade” in the search engine a couple different articles come up. The Blade is paywalled though. I don’t pay for it.

If he can do well... RHS Dmen don't come cheap so that could be valuable in itself.

Judge slams pair's role in bullying case

If Jose finds this, he should ask about it. He seems up for difficult questions.

Yup. That’s it. That’s right up the street from me.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

The thing that worries me is not the incident - it's the apparent lack of remorse, and the fact that his camp won't discuss it now. In the draft thread, there's a Twitter post that says that those red flags caused some teams to take him off their draft boards entirely.

Sigh.

Sounds like we picked a real "prick" - Cactus style

This is interesting. I don’t make excuses for bullying, especially the nature of the act and who it was against, but I wasn’t the best person at age 14, either.

that said, if he hasn’t learned from it completely, I don’t like the character flags.

Charming.

Yup. I remember there being a lot of backlash around here for the punishment not fitting the crime. I initially wanted to say it was a racial thing, but I forgot that the kid they bullied was mentally handicapped.

Gonna lock you in a room with him... and sandwiches. He'll come out a better man

 

[Neighborhood Coyote]

It would be nice if the Yotes could do something that doesn't have a negative or bad news or something attached for once.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

The problem is that he was apparently bullying the kid since the 2nd grade. Not the best look.

Or even the second or third best look

 

[DOTS13]

I can't imagine he continues to act in an undisciplined manner toward individuals with disabilities. There haven't been any other reports, at least as of now, that show he's continued to act in such an immature manner. He probably had the piss scared out of him as a 14 year old and still feels horrible about it. I'm up for giving him benefit of the doubt, let his actions do the talking. As compared to someone like Tony DeAngelo who has a consistent track record of awful behavior.

Hopefully any piss and vinegar that he still has is left out on the ice.

EDIT: Just saw the posts about it happening since 2nd grade... that says a lot about upbringing and family in my opinion. Not to keen on this guy.

They better have some inside story about how they did their homework on this one.

Judge noted the exact opposite.

I'm sure the Coyotes Insider will ask super difficult questions

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

Almost zero controversy in this draft for us until this pick. So close.
