This just makes me sad. It's such a gigantic bummer.
It's such a stupid move for so many reasons:
a) Miller is a 4/5 defenseman. No need for 4 years -or- $2.5m AAV. Certainly not both.
b) His skillset does not fit the direction the league is going
c) His skillset is redundant given that we have a nearly identical player also locked up
d) This team has cap issues
I'm now worried the Bruins will end up like the Phillies of a couple of years ago, when you could say "29 teams think this, and then the Phillies"
Just a colossal downer. I was holding out hope for these guys, but I'm just so crushed by this.
