It's okay, they'll tweet "END RACISM" and we can finally put this whole ugly episode behind us.

ThinkTank posted:It would be near impossible to show that anything around hockey operations can be considered sufficient to be fired with cause. Fans may disagree with moves, but unless any were done without an owner's permission somehow or displayed a fundamental misunderstanding of how the business works that's just how it goes. From an employment perspective you can't really make the case that lack of on ice success has anything to do with failure of job performance. Plus hockey operations is only a portion of a GM's job even if it's the most prominent. They're the general manager of all or a significant portion of the organization for the most part, so the business side of things is just as important to job performance. Losing hockey games doesn't really matter if the business is profitable and otherwise successful financially. What happens if they actually got caught loving a chicken?

The details are really bad quote:Four years ago, Miller admitted in an Ohio juvenile court to bullying Meyer-Crothers, who was tricked into licking a candy push pop that Miller and another boy had wiped in a bathroom urinal.Meyer-Crothers had to be tested for hepatitis, HIV and STDs, but the tests came back negative, according to a police report.

Sure glad the Coyotes cheated in the draft in order to draft a racist rear end in a top hat who can't be bothered to apologize directly to the developmentally disabled black kid he bullied. Real character guy you got there Arizona.

The Pens are just going to endlessly cycle in Mario and Sid's cup winning buddies into executive roles until the end of time and i'm ok with this because they somehow keep winning cups despite it

The hosed up reality about that Miller kid in Arizona is he'd get picked by some team no matter what. The awful part is he clearly hasn't done good to the family/kid that he abused. However, hopefully he can do something with the platform he has...but yeah seems unlikely.

So the Coyotes got more time with the draft eligible kids than anyone else and still forgot to ask them if they had any been charged with being the biggest piece of poo poo imaginable?

Man, I sure love the Coyotes. Too bad they got dinged draft picks for some nebulous "too much time spent" rules. I'm sure our new GM will make great choices with their limited selections, though. Time to look at the news.

What are the Coyotes hoping he proves himself to be? Slightly less awful and undeserving of a multi million dollar contract because that's just about the best you could ask for. Can't wait until he's named to the team USA WJC squad and this is spun as some sort of tearful redemption arc.

You can't pull the "he made a mistake" excuse when it was a longterm thing over years. That's a lot of loving mistakes. He was a 4th round pick (Coyotes didn't have their first 3) so he's an easy skip not to pick a sack of poo poo.

picturing some dumbass detached team exec reading off a prepared statement at a presser, "you know, everyone makes mistakes along the lines of *reading notes* bashing a black developmentally disabled boy's head into a brick wall" and just breezing right past it without even acknowledging what he said the culture that exists in hockey from peewee up is hosed, fellas. heckin bad

Overlooked is the fact that the Coyotes were well aware of this long before the draft and still decided to select him anyways.quote:"Mitchell sent a letter to every NHL team acknowledging what happened and apologizing for his behavior. Mitchell made a huge mistake, but we are providing him with a second chance to prove himself. We hope that he uses his platform moving forward to raise awareness about bullying and to discourage this type of behavior.” A "huge mistake" is backing your parent's truck into an electrical pole or calling the teacher mommy. I realize the NHL seemingly prides itself on being the tone deaf out of touch league, but good god please have some accountability here.

grack posted:What happens if they actually got caught loving a chicken? Then they “resign to spend time with their family.” Basically at that point it’s the Bill Peters option where the team goes “we’re getting our lawyers to write something up saying we’re firing you for being a horrible person and breaking all the personal conduct clauses in your contract. If that happens, you will get no money and get your name dragged through the mud even more. You could fight it and try to get some severance, but we all know how that’s going to end up. Or you can just go away right now and save us the effort.”

Pungry posted:It's Luke Heimlich all over again. Except MLB teams showed the bare minimum of sense and didn't draft him. It's not even like Mitchell is some can't miss talent where a team might turn a blind eye for self serving reasons. He sucks poo poo and likely won't make it anywhere near the NHL. Why would any team want that attention?

Well that's all terrible. gently caress the coyotes. It would still be absolutely no excuse but I can see the mental gymnastics if he's like a projected first rounder that ever one passed on because of his racism and general shittiness and they took a swing in the 3rd round. He's just a plug with like a 10 percent chance of becoming a regular. What a loving joke. Then again, if he wasn't drafted we'd probably get inundated with articles about hockey cancel culture and a great lamenting how some poor rich white kid doesn't get to follow his dreams and instead has to settle for a 6-7 figure salary at daddy's law firm or whatever.

DGB has a really fun draft exercise. Make a team of the best 1st overall pick, best 2nd, etc., but he has to use all 31 teams.quote:As Neil says, we’re going to put together one round, lasting 31 picks, from all of NHL Draft history. Every player we take has to have been drafted in that exact slot, and we have to use one pick from all 31 existing teams.  The fun of this comes in when you realize some teams have very little (or generally horrible) 1st round draft histories. That blue line is absolutely god tier.

Funny that he talks about locking out Jagr as his 5th overall pick since he can't select more than one player drafted by a team. I was also thinking about how the Caps' pick is Stevens at 5th overall, would you rather have Ovechkin/Jagr or Lemieux/Stevens? Tough call.
