That's a very good deal.
If he continues to improve he's going to make a difference.
Interesting breakdown of salaries between the 2 years.

Leafs now about $1 million over the cap.
Correct, just over $1Mm over.
Sitting 4th in NHL right now, they have a full (23 man) roster.
Of the clubs with higher cap hits this year, Arizona has 22 signed, St. Louis 21, Vancouver also a full roster, about $1.5Mm over the upper limit. This is where a team's capologist earns his salary.

There are a few individuals here who criticize the Maple Leafs' draft selections.

At least the club didn't draft this guy.....
Arizona Coyotes top draft pick was convicted
for bullying Black, mentally disabled teen

Interesting story. The only thing I'll say is that the incident occurred when he was 14 years old. 14 year olds do a lot of dumb things. I suspect that this is going to follow him around for a while now and should have an impact (hopefully positive) on his maturation.

Just wondering what percentage of 4th round picks makes make it to the league.

Not a great story...hopefully he isn't the same person now.

The Arizona Coyotes have renounced their draft rights to Mitchell Miller.
They might have known but didn't think they'd receive a blacklash for it...if pro sports teams starting going thru the past of their players closer they'd probably be disappointed at what they found.

That would be my guess.
Doing the right thing, better late than never, I suppose.

The Coyotes organization has some work to do with this kid. Hopefully, they educate him to become a better man.
