I reported on this story for @EPRinkside a little while back.

Ultimately, it was the reason we removed Mitchell Miller from our board, even though we came to view him as a second-round calibre talent. https://twitter.com/friedgehnic/status/1320766133658673163
Some of the teams I spoke with going into the draft had some pretty not great things to say about Miller and the way he represented himself.

Concerns that neither Miller nor his representation were willing to be forthright or engage in this topic were routine.
I made numerous efforts to talk with Miller’s camp myself, and let’s just say that I got absolutely nowhere — I’ll leave it at that.

The teams who did speak with Miller were... not impressed. Many got the sense he felt no remorse for the incident in question. Not good!
On some struggle session ish, one area where I clearly failed in my reporting, and where this article gets it 100 percent right, is they centre the victim. They let him tell his story, and that’s so important, so massive props there. I’ll do some learning myself here on that one.
