Red Wings sign Drew Miller to 1-year deal

The Detroit Red Wings announced they have re-signed forward Drew Miller to a one-year contract that will reportedly pay him a shade over $1 million, according to TSN's Frank Seravalli.

Miller was reduced to 28 games with a torn meniscus, finishing his seventh season with the Red Wings with just one goal and one assist.

With the Red Wings in transition, and more and more young talent coming into the system, the fourth-line forward and reliable penalty killer will be counted on to provide those stabilizing ancillary contributions.

Detroit retains almost $18 million in available cap space with Pavel Datsyuk's contract being housed in Arizona.
