Breaking News: The Detroit Red Wings waived one of their forward!

According to Elliotte Friedman, the Detroit Red Wings reportedly placed their veteran forward Drew Miller on waivers.

Recently signed

Miller signed a 1-year deal with the Red Wings over the summer coming with a $1.025.000 cap hit, despite his shortened season (25 games). The Wings forward underwent a major knee surgery that kept him out of action for more than 40 games and he also missed the playoffs. This year, Miller has been quite a letdown as he only managed to score 5 goals and add one assist for 6 points in 34 games. He's also a minus +-10.

More speed needed

Miller was healthy scratched a few times this season as he seemed to be outskated most night, despite showing a lot of efforts. The 32-year-old veteran forward might not be done, for he is a good penalty kill specialist but his career is slowly coming to an end. The Wings organization showed a lot of patience, managing this particular case with precaution but it seems they're willing to let him go for good now.

If not claimed, Drew Miller will be heading to Grand Rapids where he will join the Detroit affiliate AHL team, the Griffins.
