BOSTON — The Bruins announced Thursday that the independent review into the club’s ill-fated signing of prospect Mitchell Miller found there was no misconduct from any team employee, but determined the existing vetting policy was lacking and suggested new steps the club said it will implement.
The review was conducted by the law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton and Garrison and led by former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
“Throughout our independent and thorough review process, the Bruins’ leadership and employees cooperated fully. Based upon our review, we have recommended a series of changes and enhancements to the process of vetting future players,” said Lynch in the team press release.
