The Bruins have made a move. According to TSN's Pierre LeBrun, they have re-signed defenseman Kevan Miller to a one-year deal that has a $1 million base and could be worth up to $2 million with incentives.
The 32-year-old Miller has been with the Bruins since 2013, but has had a brutal, painful last couple years.
He hasn't played since April 2019, when he suffered a broken kneecap. He tried to get back in time to contribute to the Bruins' 2019 playoff run, only to re-break the kneecap while rehabbing.
The road didn't get a whole lot smoother after that, as he suffered several more setbacks during his recovery, the most recent of which forced him to undergo another surgery -- his fourth total -- in March of this year.
"It's been a long haul," Miller said in June. "It's taken a toll for sure. Mentally, physically, it's definitely taken a toll. It's been a long road, but I'm trying to keep things in perspective."
With a couple questions elsewhere on defense, Miller at least provides some relatively cheap depth if he can get back healthy.
