The Arizona Coyotes last month boasted about having their chief executive selected to an elite National Hockey League committee that pledged to stop racism, but the team then spent its first draft pick on an 18-year-old who has admitted to bullying an African American classmate with developmental disabilities.


seems like this organization just cant get anything right.... maybe they shoulda sold the franchise to basilie or whatever doubt it could be any worse off

They definitely shouldve been sold and moved. Absolute joke of a franchise.

what's most bizarre is that apparently the Miller camp simply dodged this particular issue and never admitted/apologized to the disabled kid.

World class organization....

Yes the drafted player was only 14 when it happened but at that age you know full well how wrong that it is.

Absolutely sick. He never even apologized for his heinous actions.

With that kind of character I doubt he gets anywhere in the NHL.

"Mitchell, I'm not sure you still get it," he said in the courtroom. "I don't think you like being where you are. But I still don't think you've put yourself in the shoes of not just the one victim but numerous victims. No one should come to school and feel humiliated or intimidated.

"If this is what you do in school, I wonder what you do outside of school. You're supposed to be on your best behavior in school. So if this is an example of your best behavior, I wonder what your worst behavior is. I don't have a sense of real remorse. But I do feel that you feel sorry for yourself."

Which scouts in that org recommended to draft that asshole? Skilled or not, I wouldn't have even mentioned his name if I were the scout for the Yotes. I believe in second chances, and mistakes made when you're young to become a better person growing up. However showing no remorse at all, not even a half assed apology just tells me he ain't worth it. Kane, reaves or Simmonds would destroy him if he was on the ice anyway.

Says teams interviewed him and pretty much blacklisted him.

You know what's hilarious? Yotes lost so many picks this year, and with their first pick they draft this bum, when I'm sure he coulda been drafted with a 7th even lmao

The fact that he sent apologies to all 31 nhl teams about this incident but still haven't apologized to his victim says it all.
