When the Boston Bruins signed defenseman Kevan Miller to a four-year deal, the media lit up Don Sweeney. They saw this is as another serious mistake by the Bruins general manager. $2.5 million for four years for a 5th-6th blueliner. By and large, the fans seem to agree with this.
This was Don Sweeney’s defense of signing Miller.
“Kevan brings incredible character. His signing provides us with the necessary depth on our defense that all teams need. His relative low-mileage, having just played 160 games, we identified that we think Kevan has room for continued growth and development,” said Sweeney.
