With this right to vote, the Californians selected McMillan a few days later in the third round at position 85 and secured the rights to him. After he had also spent the 2009/10 season in the Western Hockey League, the attacker was signed by the Anaheim Ducks in May 2010 with a three-year contract.

After his NHL debut, the Ducks first sent him back to the farm team for the Syracuse Crunch, before McMillan was appointed to the NHL squad a few days later, along with Nick Bonino and Dan Sexton . On his third appearance in the NHL, he scored his first goal in the encounter against the Phoenix Coyotes . During the same season, McMillan prevailed as a regular in Anaheim.

At the trade deadline on April 3, 2013, it was given to the Phoenix Coyotes. The Arizona Coyotes, as the franchise has been called since June 2014, put McMillan on the waiver in February 2015 , from which the Vancouver Canucks signed him. There McMillan ended the 2014/15 season, where his expiring contract was not subsequently extended. In October 2015 he decided to move to Europe and signed a contract with ERC Ingolstadt from the German Ice Hockey League .
