I very much believe that people should be given a chance to redeem themselves and that we always need to be careful not to let mob justice get out of hand. In this particular case, it really does not seem like Miller has reformed or even owning up to the full extent of his past beyond the one incident. I think the NHL's decision is right. They will review the case at the time when he wants to make the jump to the NHL. He has a chance at redemption but it's not guaranteed. If it doesn't work out, hockey-wise or redemption-wise, he still can go on to live a regular life like the rest of us 9-5 joes.
