BREAKING: Defenseman Mitchell Miller safe from Bruins' Buyout Consideration's

While veteran defenseman Mike Reilly's future remains uncertain, one player who will not be subjected to a buyout is the controversial Mitchell Miller.

The 21-year-old defenseman has unfortunately marred Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney's otherwise impressive 2022-23 season. This situation could potentially impact Sweeney's chances of receiving the esteemed Jim Gregory Award for NHL GM of the Year.

Initially signed to a three-year contract with an $861,667 salary cap hit, Miller's troubled past resurfaced, leading the Bruins to distance themselves from him shortly after the agreement was finalized.

Though Miller's cap hit does not impact the team's salary cap, severing ties completely would involve termination or a buyout, both of which pose challenges and potential complications, including grievances and lingering cap hits.
