It is an incredible fortunate and small group of people that even have a remote chance of that. I'm comfortable saying that based on his behavior and how he treated someone - that opportunity is gone for him.
Doesn't mean his life is over. 99.9999999% of us will never have an NHL career.
Why does he get that opportunity? Eff him.

Quote from the Coyotes in the article:
"Given our priorities on diversity and inclusion, we believe that we are in the best position to guide Mitchell into becoming a leader for this cause and preventing bullying and racism now and in the future. As an organization, we have made our expectations very clear to him. We are willing to work with Mitchell and put in the time, effort, and energy and provide him with the necessary resources and platform to confront bullying and racism. This isn’t a story about excuses or justifications. It’s a story about reflection, growth, and community impact. A true leader finds ways for every person to contribute to the solution. We all need to be a part of the solution.”
They clearly see some potential for the lad to grow into a mature adult who recognizes his mistake(s) and can become a better person for it. Mitchell is a little $hit for what he has done no doubt, but he was 14. Put the pitchforks away guys and lets see if something good can stem from this before we burn him at the stake.
