Yes, plus Craig McTavish. So apparently you can not only play, but coach.

Evander Kane still playing negates anything Bettman says about Miller not being welcome in the league.

If only every current NHL player had their sins laid bare...

The hypocrisy on this stinks to high heaven.  How many of you think that everyone affiliated with the League would consent to have their juvenile records published?

I truly hope that hypocrisy is exposed.  Wish every statement or act Bettman has made since he was 14 is scrutinized, and he has to live under the same standard.

Sean burke beat his wife but yet still got to play and is now director of goaltending for the golden knights…

This is starting to get cruel and unusual

I honestly don’t know, I just know there guys in the NHL right now who’ve done some terrible things. It’s documented and for some reason they keep messing with this kid. Karma? Maybe…but man. I doubt all these teams would have kept him around  if he was that bad of a dude. His talent is there…but he’s not Connor mcdavid. Just curious why this did doesn’t get a second chance while almost everyone else does?

I agree with you, its really weird that Gary Bettman/NHL is drawing a line with him. If anyone should be banished from the NHL it's Gary Bettman. Him keeping the Coyotes in Arizona for as long as he has is painful enough.

Sean Burke comes to mind for me. He beat his wife terribly in 97 and was allowed to play in the NHL afterwards and now he is the goaltending coach in Vegas.

Absolutely, and only the officials at Hockey Canada have had any repercussions.

I remember people talking about that when I lived in Mass during the 1980's. Vehicular Homicide isn't a small incident, it's very serious. Yet, he was allowed to come back and play after serving his consequence. 

Quote

MacTavish missed the 1984–85 season after being convicted of vehicular homicide, having struck and killed a young woman while he was driving under the influence of alcohol.

Four former players on the sheet in Ottawa tonight: https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/event/vancouver-canucks-ottawa-senators-20221108?event_id=195561

Pinto, Sanderson and JBD for the Senators. Boeser for the Canucks. It would have been five if Tucker Poolman was available for the Canucks. I wonder what the biggest number of UND folks playing in an NHL game was?

Some of those Jets - NorthStars games back in the late 80s had quite a few.

Crazy to listen to the podcast and then follow it by reading the contents of that tweet.  Talk about painting a picture in two different lights.  It's all so sad.

[The Sicatoka]

First, the following in no way condones Miller's actions as a 14 year old. Those actions were abhorrent and despicable and Miller deserved any ramifications handed down by the juvenile judicial system. 

But how did a juvenile matter (14 year old) come to public light? Those are normally sealed court records. If it was the victim's family that revealed a juvenile court matter, aren't they responsible for the later impacts of their actions? Could the argument be made they did cost Miller college scholarships and an entry level NHL contract? 

Where are my lawyers here?

I think that, as usual, the truth lies in the middle.

I’m in the camp that it’s the mother who is behind this. An agent such as Miller’s isn’t going to stick his neck out like he has (and he explained in the podcast). Sad situation all around.

Looks like he may get paid still

Good, he did nothing wrong to get cut or void his contract. 
 

Now the next thing we will hear is Isiaiah’s  mom suing him in civil court.
