An article on Drew Miller from the LA Times
Upon being sent to the Ducks' minor-league affiliate at Portland, Maine, in the final days of training camp, rookie Drew Miller was told by team officials to find a place to live.
The young winger didn't spend much time in his rented home. Two weeks later, Miller was packing his bags again, this time joining the Ducks in Pittsburgh.Not that he's complaining about being on the move.
"If it means I can stay, I don't mind," the 23-year-old said after Tuesday's practice at Scottrade Center. "What every player wants is to be told to get a place. But I'm not too worried about that right now. I'm just happy to be here. I don't mind staying in a hotel."
Because of injuries at forward, Miller was recalled Oct. 6 after failing to win a roster spot out of training camp. He has one point in four games but that point was his first NHL goal in a 3-1 victory over Nashville last week.
Miller established himself as an all-around player in three seasons at Michigan State, where nine other members of his family played hockey, including older brother, Ryan, of the Buffalo Sabres.Read the rest here - Link
